Monogram EA-6B 1/48

Thanks  all, as far as the canopy goes I tinted it with a light coat of alclad gold and copper

Seriously, that is one really nice bird. Did you tint the canopy? Or is it just the light reflecting that makes it look gold?

I concur with all the above.Nice use of the technique.

yes a very nice finish 

Thanks for the kind words

Very authentic looking.

Beautiful build, B_one! 

Thanks Patrick, there are actually 3 gray tones on the model, and just like the real deal you have to get up close to it to actually see them.

Such a good job you made of it, excellent work. The finish looks like the paint system worked well for you, I'll check with the online dealers to see if I can locate some to try.

Thanks for the post and photos.

Thanks, B1!

I've seen the technique explained on doogsmodels website. I was curious to see how you performed it. I'm close to finishing a plane to the point I can try the technique; just trying to digest as much information from those who have used blackbasing.

Thanks again for your response. And again, your prowler is very well done!

Thanks hogfanfs, I prime in black then do the base color dots along with some light gray dots. Then once the marble effect is done I then cover the model with very thin coats of the primary color to help blend everything together. 

If you do a Google or YouTube search for doogsmodels he explains the process very well. That's where I got It from.

B1,

This Prowler turn out great! How did you do the blackbasing? Spray all black then did you use the white/light grey dots/circles? Or, just all black?

Thanks for sharing, it does look very well done!

Thanks Mike 

That looks great.  Love your weathering job.
