MKT Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Slight addendum to the yellowing discussion earlier: I just noticed Mandarake has recently started to add remarks to Frontier v2 valks that yellowing may occur (in addition to the possible nose hinge crack) for unopened ones.

mark-1s Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I’ve always loved the 262 but every time I see that head I see this…… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borgified Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hahahaha... I bet Stitch can handle the SAAB J35 Draken anyways. 😁 The Head on the 262Hs looks more of the Egyptian god Anubis to me, while the Ba is the Pope Head VF-17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PointBlankSniper Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I think of the Hs as the anubis head too, and it kind of feels like cheating in mechanical design for a valk head to be structured like that tbh. The Ba imo is pretty much the VF-14's squid head. Don't see any resemblance to Stitch in either one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 This comes very late, but coincidentally while painting something else with Citadel Paint - Retributor Armor, it came to my mind that it looked just like the gold used on Keith's SV-262. I had one that had a lot of the gold that was scuffed off and tried applying some to it. It is nearly identical. I repainted that whole area outlined in the black box on both sides of where it separates and I think most people would have a hard time distinguishing it from the rest of the gold on the 262. Just a tip if there's anyone else that had the gold scuff off or peeled off with the protective plastic right out of the box and wanted to do some touch ups.

Chronocidal Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Actually that discovery is very much appreciated, since it really is hard to find a proper match for touching up, and some of the edges have long since flaked on my 262s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 How does Retributor Armor "brush"? Many gold paints lately (looking at you, Vallejo) are very "sticky" and horrible to use, even if the color is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many gold paints lately (looking at you, Vallejo) are very "sticky" and horrible to use, even if the color is nice. Might need to thin it a bit. If I had to do it again, I would probably just thin it enough to airbrush it on as my paint brushing skills are not the best. I recently got some Citadel contrast medium and it seems to help the citadel paints flow better as well when brushing. Small are touchups like I did in my pic should be fine. Doing something like a whole strip, I'd probably use my airbrush. Edited April 12 by MacrossJunkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Having worked with Citadel metallics for years, I can say they are some of the best available and forgive brush painting readily, BUT they need to be thoroughly mixed for a good consistency. I use an electric paint shaker and a couple stainless steel ball bearings in the paint pot and that’s always done the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
