Hi guys,
Just about to start on a new endeavor, trying to conquer the notorious lady, Revell's 1/48 P-61 Black Widow. Apparently she has numerous fit issues, especially with the clear parts. They say she is a tough lady and from what I've heard she has often made modelers give up on her.
We'll see how long I survive, as those widows are known for destroying their suitors.
I am planning to do the "Midnight Mickey" version, which means olive drab/green base color. From what I've seen, these planes very pretty battered, so weathering should be fun.
After my first experiment with the complementary pre-shading method on my last build (Tamiya's 1/48 Zeke where I used dark yellow primer followed by purple pre-shading before IJN Ash Gray base color), I will test the method further and go with the same primer, red or dark red pre-shading followed by the olive drab/green base colors.
We'll see how it goes. Let's get crackin'!
Thanks for looking guys!
Cheers,
Nikola
