Experiments with Dapple Camouflage

Experimenting with colours for the dapple camouflage. On the left are two attempts with a Q-tip and on the right are two attempts with a microbrush. I like the dark brown colour better. I like the size of the microbrush dapple spots, but the brush holds too much paint and they end up looking too dark and not dappled. The Q-tip dapple looks good, but the spots might be large. The box art gives an idea of the effect I am trying to achieve and the wing gives and idea of the scale.

Wednesday is running night so no work done tonight.

Hope will get something done for tomorrow. This will not be ready for the Kitchener show. :(

Work Interferes with the Build

No work on the build last night as I was getting ready for a presentation.

Base Coat Complete

Finish off the base coat on the lower wing and fuselage tonight.

Disaster Fixed and Back at It

Managed to clean off all the disaster coat and have now put on a first coat from the trusty air brush.
For this coat I am using Tamiya Color XF-57 with my trusty Paasche single action.

Isoprop and White Spirits to the Rescue

Used a small amount of white spirits and then Isoprop to remove all of the paint from the fuselage and wings. Works very well and no need for sanding.

Painting Disaster

Argghhhh! My primer was clumping even after many shakes. Ended with very uneven finish. Trying to rescue the wings and fuselage now.
