I think that you're preshading might show a little better than mine, Fermis.
What are you going to use for the green? I have a Fulcrum in the stash and it's good to know these things.
I have attend an football party later today (totally against my wishes, of course), so no work will get done until much later tonight, if at all... what a bummer.
Looks good Dre....and we are about on the same pace!
Time has really been limited lately (that's about over now though!). Did the pre-shade the other night, and sprayed "Fulcrum Grey" last night, with some post-shading as well. Should have the green camo done today!
And later still.
I've roughly sprayed MM enamel Dark Tan to fill in the panels and then followed that with a Dark Tan/White mix at 60:40 to more finely fill in the color. I lose most of the shading effect, but since this is going to be a 5 color paint scheme there's still plenty of time left to play tricks with the paint. The other camo paints will all be MM enamels as well: Leather for the dark, reddish brown; Olive Drab FS34087; Olivegrun RLM 80 and Lichtblau RLM 76. They might be 'slightly inaccurate' color selections, but I think they'll look pretty good once finished and weathered.
And now it is later.... heavily preshaded.
Eh, you've seen the progress to date... I might get to throwing some paint at it later though.
Pics would be nice...
NervousEnergy- I masked mine with thin strips of yellow Tamiya tape... same-same material as the Eduard masks just not precut. I used a fresh #11 blade to cut around the framing.
I didn't know about a brown rubber sealing strip...but I'm not going to worry about it now.
Anyone worked with the Eduard canopy masks for the Trumpy 1/32 Mig-21 MF? I'm not sure I'm smart enough to figure out their directions... I love Eduard masks and have used them several times, but this set is far more complex, as it seems to be designed to be added and removed in layers in order to get the brown rubber sealing line painted in accurately. I'm having trouble parsing what goes on when from the basic 2D instructions, though.
I've only done it on 1/72 kits with raised lines. "building" a raised panel line seems line a lot of time invested for a panel line that may or may not supposed to be there.
On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister
Yeah, I've added graphite lines INSIDE of panel lines but never as a complete substitution...
kustommodeler1 Well, I still haven't seen the replacement scriber yet, so I may end up penciling the panel lines......

I've done the same thing before, works fine on 1/72 machines, haven't had to try it on larger stuff though.
I decided I'm gonna do this one with a spraycan laquer since I can't find the cap for my bottle for the airbrush, or the bottle for that matter. So I got the first mist coat on. Doing it in one of the white paint schemes. Need to make the numbers and the other little decal upfront, so gotta get my copy of illustrator installed and figure out how to use it. HAH Can't get any photo's until Sunday as I leave when it's dark and come home when it's dark.
Pencil works good for panel lines. I've sealed mine with a flat clear and that kills the pencil "sheen". I think it's a handy technique.

"All you mugs need to get busy building, and post pics!"
Hmmmmmmmmm...that could be interesting. So would you seal the lines in with a gloss coat?

taxtp Can I do a crossover ? I've got a 1/72 Su 33 Flanker planned.

I'm just taking it one GB at a time.
Manstein's revenge mikeymize Count me in please. I will build a MiG..... somewhere between a "17" and "29" ,just not sure which one but it'll definitely be a MiG! Welcome aboard...lots of marks to choose from...I suggest the 29---don't have one of those in yet...

Well, got sidetracked as usual; about a month but....... it will most certainly be a MiG-17 PFU "Fresco" , Hobby Boss. NMF will be a challenge for me but I gotta do it sometime!
"Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time".
I've been known to 'get sick' and leave work to get something done at the bench... but not today.
Dre I wish I could leave work right now to start painting...

You don't look too good buddy ~cough cough~
Or Flagonish...
And not nearly as unwieldy as a Flanker kit either...
Largish - but still not Flanker-sized!
Vance, the engine is fully built and conveniently hidden inside the fuselage- I really didn't want to paint it.
Yeah, it's largish- all that means is that I'll wind up knocking off the various breakables as I paint it.
Wow, that Trumpy MiG is a handful isn't it! Are you building the engine unit as well?
WOW---that's a BIG MiG! Nice...
I need to do one or two little things (like add and blend the canopy) and this MiG is ready for paint...
I don't know when I'll get to the painting, but it should be soonish.
Well the MiG isn't as together as I thought it was. This is where it is at now. Academy 1:48 Scale MiG 21. Can't remember if it's the MF or the PF. It has the thicker spine. Gonna do it in a white paint scheme I saw online, I gotta find the image again as I fried my old hard drive literally flames. OOPS. As i need to make a single decal for it on each side the rest I can get from the sheets I have.
