Looking good. Did you shade most of the bottom to work as an undershadow?

That's some great work Krow - how did I miss this one??

just as me

very serious impressive work!

Hmech , jmod , bysa , Thanks and stay tuned as I go through the paint work,its very involved.

Here is one of the color profiles I will use :

The bottom is now a nmf panel and I 'spotted' silver all over where there is chipping and paint loss.

You will see an interesting effect here as I sprayed the Alclad onto the flat black it was a dry spray, this I scrubbed lightly with a scotch pad to create a pattern of lines from front to back.

Wheel details in the works  as well as the canopy into nmf state.

That is one awesome looking paint scheme. It's going to look just right on your 190.

sir, you are an artist!!

i can only dream of being half as good as you are.

wonderfamazing work!

jm , wiz , Thanks , Ongoing with the paint work,I randomly applied EZ Mask with a small brush on t othe nmf areas painted prior. Does not take as long as you might think.Applied in a dotted and streaked method ,as long as they dont look too much like 'blobs'. This is the beginning of the chipping procedure.

...and on to the paint job. Here you will see the model and ref's laid out as well as my printout ,which is for shapes and layout ,not for color reference.

And starting with RLM 75 ,darkened slightly  with RLM 70.Front lower wing panel and camo on the upper wing/stabilizers. Masking quickly with tape and post it notes ,no pix of that ,I'm moving quickly through these first steps. I'll take a break now ,come back with the RLM 77 camo and the lower wing panels,to finish the wing today.

...moving along...

sublime green? what drugs use actually model master

curious about paint stripping i need to try something like that

Bysa-Thanks -I may see color differently,this is a natural part of my personality ,no further enhancement needed. The color was mixed in a full pot of RLM 76 ,a touch of the RLM 82 , a touch of Sublime Green , and then the yellow to green it up.

Here is a cartoonish profile of the aircraft being modeled.

And here we are:

your result is good, but the name of color ....

(i have my car whit a paint named optimistic yellow.... )

She already looks great !  Beautiful work.

Tgunner-Thanks - bysa -There is very little of the Sublime green in the mix ,it also looks twice as intense on the screen as it is actually.

Brown on ,see the airbrush settings in the masked off cockpit area.

Green to go...

Green is on . I will let his dry off for a good long time , then on to some more detail painting. These are the basic colors and areas of camo.

Here's a nice big pic of a swastika , in no way does this represent the mindset of the modeler or my (krow113) beliefs.Thought I would clear that up before any stupidity arises.

nice updates!

agree with this , i have lots of german ww2 planes but for a sort of mind stoppage i can not put swasticas on my new models .i did it only on 3 of my oldest works

In some way need to escape from this mind block!

waiting for finished model

My grandfather had a '69 Dodge Charger in Sublime Green.

Krow, those markings look great. Did you use decals or did you paint them on?
