Tortuga Kustomz Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 Here’s another update guys, just finished adding the decals and they came out better then I thought, all decals are from slixx, now just need to wait couple of day and have a sunny day to shout the final coat of clear, hope you guys like it, still need to work on some details like the parachute, door windows and glass, hope to do those things soon 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian McLaren Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Looks great Marcos, you have done an excellent job on this model, my hat is off to you! I just noticed you have Pearl Clear over the base colors, I just tried that today as I've had the can for quite a while, and I really like the effect. I also have some original Murano Pearl I used on the Banzai Vega Panel that was used to paint the original car back in the 70's. It seems to be a finer powder and a silver pearl and sprays quite well from my airbrush when the clear is highly diluted, Easy to get even coverage but also useful for highlighting body lines. Regardless pearl clear of one kind or another is going to remain the way forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pearl clear give another level of detail, I wasn't sure how this painting was going to turn out because it's the first time I've tried it and was one of my friend from my local club who told me to use it, and i love it, thanks for stopping by my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
