Ian, appreciated ole chap Pete, many thanks to thee too fella Steve, cheers mushty . Painting separately is the only way to go IMHO. Those darned interleaving wheels are impossible to get at otherwise . Well she's been primed , more on that later when I fetch it from the cellar

Well chaps as you can see the primer isn't Dunkelgelb , I must admit I felt a tad let down when I started spraying . Never mind, I give this a coat of Mission Models Dunkelgelb and see that goes . More tomorrow, hopefully

What primer was that then Paul?

This new stuff from Vallejo. It's certainly a good primer, the panzer grey which I used on the Faun was perfect. This one has an odd colour tone to it.

It's got a bit of a green tinge to it? Good coverage from the primer though

Pete, Boots, the primer is agood one for sure, just the colour is odd . Anyway, we're back in the game now . Here's Mission Models Dunkelgelb sprayed without thinning . I must say these paints are blurdy good , no messing about with a drying nozzle, no thinning (although they could be a tad thinner) and the AB cleans up with cheap Aldi glass cleaner . I shall defo be getting some more of these MM paints

That's a very nice colour mate, what pressure did you spray at?

Post by Paul B on May 14, 2019 17:06:40 GMT
About 30psi with a 0.5mm nozzle, the AB is a cheapo Fengda

Here the beginning of the camo fun , I have chosen Tamiya XF61 for the start. It could be possible that there should be redbrown on there too, not sure about that yet.

Boots, Pete, Ian, cheers fellas . I added some sponged on red-brown the other day, but I reckon that ain't enough. Gonna go back over that to more volume in there. I also added some stickers from Archer, rusted the exhaust, and gotten the horrible DS tracks in place . Just waiting for one main decal to arrive now, then I can finish this one off .

Post by Paul B on May 20, 2019 18:03:35 GMT
