Found a much better color for this ordinance
Posted by MikeV on Saturday, April 10, 2004 9:52 PM
I stated before that I had painted the GBU-12's for my F-15E in MM enamel Olive Drab color and was not pleased with the color as it was too brown.
Today I went to the LHS and bought some Acryl Green Drab and tried it out and it is much better.
The results are below with the enamel OD color on the top GBU-12 and the Acryl Green Drab on the bottom one.
What do you think?

It is way brown. That's odd. I definately like the second one better. Are those resin pieces? I know what I wanted to ask you. I remember you were having a problem with a 'lip" on your wing, where one side was slightly higher where you glued the joint. I'm having the same problem with my Corsair. IT's not too terrible, just enough to bug me. What did you end up doing for that? I sent a friend of mine from a suburb near Frisco to your Bass fishing link, he's getting into that. Where do you go out for that? And one more thing!! LOL Midway is on the History Channel right now!! I've never seen it (don't flog me!!) Just in case you were interested.

Heath,

No, these are from the 1/48 Hasegawa Aircraft Weapons: D set.

I masked off the detail I didn't want to lose and sanded the area. It came out fairly well.
Next time I will pay even better attention to that area.

There are multiple places to fish here in Nor Cal.
The Delta is one, there is also Clear Lake, Lake Berryessa, Don Pedro Res, New Melones Res, etc.

The movie Midway? I haven't seen that in years. I remember seeing it in what they called, "Sensurround sound" back when I was a kid. It was awesome. Big Smile [:D]

Thanks for your input buddy.
