Well, it's been a LONG time since I posted a wip in here..and many, MANY have been built since. I was never a huge fan of the looks of the XF-107, but sometimes, a great deal on a kit is inspiration enough!
The kit is pretty basic, and I'm keeping it that way...mostly! The panel lines were a bit inconsistant, so I rescrbed and threw some rivets at it...
Wanting to try something new...and what better than a cheap kit to experiment on?!!! I wanted to try to replicate the faded/chipped to hell paint on the tail section, like the F-100.
I started with various shades of MM Metalizers...
I coated that with some Suave hairspay, after a sealing coat of clear gloss, and painted some heavily faded and thin base colors
Using a cut off (short, stiff) brush and water, I "brushed" away some of the paint, exposing the metal.
I should have sealed it here again, but got ahead of myself and went straight to another coat of hairspray. Then painted the camo over top...repeated the brush/water process and this is the resluts...
Working on painting the rest, right now!
