Toshi,

I'm always in awe of your committed, insanely quick builds.

Since I'm now working on my 1/48 Fock Wulf F-8 and am at the stage where I'm painting - how do you get the mottled look? I was planning on using my finest needled air brush - my Iwata HP-C Plus - and just getting close to the fuselage in my paint booth and trying to do some "splotches". Is that the way it's supposed to be done? I have no clue. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Mike

 

I use a NEO Iwata that has a .35 needle as well as a .35 nozzle.  I dial the compressor down to somewhere at or around 8 to 10 PSI.  That means your paint must be diluted down drastically to almost a water type consistency.

To do mottleing you can get as close as you can without creating the spider look.  If that starts to happen your air pressure is too high and or the trigger is being pulled back too much.  Practice on some plastic first.  Then you'll get the exact feel for it.

Once you feel comfortable, go ahead and start to mottle the F-8.  If you make a mistake, don't worry.  You can always repaint the area and redo the mottle  until you are happy with our efforts.  

As for the splotches as you so describe, I also add into some really small squiggly mini snake looking lines.  Similar to a mini worm to break up the basic mottle sceme.  I hope this helps, if you have any more questions I am more than happy to answer any and or all your questions to rhe best of my abilities.

Toshi

P.S. By the way, your high end Iwata AB is more than capable to be able to do the job at even a higher level than my made for Iwara NEO.  Good luck sir!

Our Sunday plan was to go out and visit China town and have some dim sum.  Unfortunately, Mrs. Toshi is not feeling good so it's a stay home Sunday for us.  I love to stay at home on Sunday's as I get to diligently work on my Fw 190.  Here is this afternoons progress.

That engine is AWESOME. Very cool.

Up here in Minneapolis we almost hit 50 yesterday too. Snow will be gone by tomorrow. So much for skiing...

Things here are really heating up.  I'm in Streetsboro, some 35 to 45 minutes from downtown Cleveland, Ohio.  We were at 0 degrees at our coldest point a few days ago.  Now all of a sudden, we are going to hit anywhere between 50 to 60 degrees over the next couple of days.  Then it's back to our normal of 30 degrees.  Burr.  What a weird winter.

I mostly stayed indoors allowing me to build non-stop for several weeks.  But today and tomorrow will be an outdoors day as Mrs. Toshi insists I stop making models and get out to enjoy the sun and warmth.  I wonder what she has planned?

Yesterday, I put together a kit in itself, the BMW radial engine.  As you can see from the photos below, it has been attached to the engine mount.  Everything was a puzzle, literally!  But once analyzed, it fit together like a glove.  Please enjoy the photos below.  Thank you forum members for your support and interests in my builds.

are you going to replicate the aircraft on the box, or are you going to make your own version?
