Depends on the primer. If you use Tamiya spray can primer, just once will do. alclad primer can be okay after one coat. revell primer needs two coats. not sure about other primers.
-
Nah, I left it untouched in the box.
-
Some progress on the x-29. I airbrushed the black stuff on the nose and the engine exhaust. next step: decals :S after that, I‘ll apply a coat and do panel lining and weathering.
-
I let I cure for 48 hours. I noticed, when doing it to short after applying the color or the coat, the color rubs off.
-
I used humbrol satin coat. Didn’t rub off, and decals weren’t harmed.
-
I just tried it with Mr.Color thinner. Seems to work without rubbing off the enamel color, so that would be my way to go from now on
-
usually I use oil colors as well, and then rub it off with a cloth, dipped into turpentine. I have the tamiya panel line color now and look for ways to remove excess color.
-
I was wondering - how do you wash off the "chicken pox"?
-
Awesome man!
-
@Bolt thanks! Here, the VF-1P, from one of my older renders: @Thom Thanks a lot! @arbit Correct. They were to thin the last time.

I purchased the ABS like resin from Anycubic and made some test prints today. It smells a bit more than the eco resin (which is really low odor), and leaves a weird white residue in the print bed and on the print. Using Isopropanol, I was able to remove it, but still strange. it seems a bit more flexible, which is good. Here is a picture. from left to right: new VF-1P nose, work in progress old VF-1P fuselage, needs to be reworked to be thicker. new reworked VF-9 nose, done.

Looks like a dragon ready to blast!
-
Yeah, the one one the left is Hex Camo style, the one on the right looks more like flecktarn. Flecktarn is more like splattering drops onto your stuff.
-
"Fleck Tarn" is used by the German army. Translates to "spot camoflage".

I have some carving tools for 1/72. no worries
-
oh man ... this looks horrible. Kinda like the VF-22 color from VF-X 1. And regarding the wings ... I did the same to my VF-19A hahaahah.

@Thom I usually try to keep the original panel lines as well, but for this kit, the panel lines were sacrificed during the process of fixing the kit. I had no other choice. I probably have to putty away the already done panel lines again, as I mixed up the F-5 versions. The F-5B and the CF-116 have slightly different panel lining. UGH
-
Awesome VF-4! I like it! Yesterday I started scribing new panel lines on the CF-116 (F-5B). So annoying, but I will do this slowly and carefully.
-
I had the Italeri one in a double pack with the X-32 as the X-35. The kit was building okay, but it lacks details. It seems that the italeri kit on your link is a completely new mould and has more details though.
-
@Bolt thanks! Plamax VF-1 time! While doing the first round of white… … something caught my attention. A seam I puttied, but forgot to sand. So careful sanding was done. But now the first white is done
-
@Kurt WB! That is a great GP38! I like it. So I had some time today to work on the VF-19A and the X-29. by the pacing and masking needed, I think the X-29 will be first to be finished.
-
That is what they call "superhero legs". Proportionally too long legs for the characters in comics and mangas. Just look at hand drawn females and such. It is just over the top. It is troublesome to draw men with realistic shorter legs. The characters look really weird then. You can either choose the manga/comic style and keep the long legs, or do realistic style but shorten the legs. The inbetween causes the uncanny valley to trigger and something seems off all the time.
-
Interesting! Well - keep up the good work!

My dad once build an RC model boat from old cardboard and basically drenched it in clear lacquer color to make it waterproof. It worked! Unfortunately it tipped over due to a large wave and sank, but hey, that was the risk of RC boats in the 80s.

@arbit haha ... yeah. Super busy... when I have time @Bolt Uhm, no ... but my kid is throwing the airplane around the flat from time to time.
