ismaelg Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Hello, I haven't had much modeling time recently, but the Z06 is slowly progressing. The interiors are about 80% done. Lots of little things still pending but slowly getting there. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Johnston Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Looks great Izzy. WHats your trick on the realistic guage faces ? Are they in the Revell kit or do you make them ? Plus...that interior "black" is spot on..is that the Humbrol ? I need to paint a Mustang interior, and I've been thinking I'd have to mix a little grey in with the black to get the correct color. Is that what you did ? Anyway it looks great. Yup....looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Nice work Ismael! I wish I had shot interior photos of mine. Got distracted during final assembly :roll: Jeff, the gauges come w/the kit and mount behind a clear gauge cover. It looks really good. I just cut out the decal and glued it to the gauge cover, no dunking in water w/white glue as Revell suggests. Testors Acryl has a great dark gray, IIRC it's Aircraft Interior Black or Dark Gray (sorry, my bottle is 25 miles away at this time), it's basically flat black that has a small amount of gray in it. Nice subtle look to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismaelg Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Jeff, I applied the kit's gauge decal to the clear part, then cut a piece of thin clear plastic and put it over it as the lens. As for the color, I'm very happy, since the 1:1 is not really black, but a very dark gray. I airbrushed the Humbrol flat dark gray mixed with a few drops of Testors black. I usually use Euro 1 Gray from the Model Master line but since I didn't find it I mixed it. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
