jjsipes Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Started prepping this one to get painted. Wanted to see what I could do with it. For nay sayers about using Tamiya PS paints on models, I found this Dark Blue Pearl and liked it. I hand painted the wood using a custom mix of a tan and then dry brushing some wood grain. Painted the panels with Testors Leather enamel (previous experience with wood panel decals are a little small for the openings they go in) and then cleared it all. I still need to apply the wood panel decals. Have one small touch up area to deal with. Bare-Metal foiled the trim. Need to work on the top a little bit, have some brush strokes in it. 4
espo Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Pretty shade of blue, and the wood graining looks good.
ea0863 Posted June 28, 2023 Posted June 28, 2023 Great job on the wood grain. Quite an art to doing it right!
jjsipes Posted July 2, 2023 Author Posted July 2, 2023 White walls didn't work out well. Went to backup. Got some work done on the interior, need to do some touchup. Scuffed and airbrushed to roof to do away with brush strokes, looks much better. 1
