those above examples look great! Don't forget to consider that different planes would have different degrees of weathering or variations from the factory they were produced at, so it "realistic" to go with a shade/colour that looks pleasing to you!

 

Hi!! BTW love your podcast!! I won 2 prices last year jejejeje.

This is how the super parts look at the moment, 1/48 Super Valks are big!!

Looking good.  It would be cool if you share your photos as you progress in the future. And explain your set up such as lighting and direct lighting with each photo, so we can figure out which makes the best photos.

I'm also trying to get better photos. I got tripods, Neewer camera lights, and a background cloth. 

But it's so frustrating.  My last dark room "photo shoot" was a disaster, no matter how low I set the tripod lighting, or how far away, they would saturate my image.

Then I gave up in defeat till further notice.

@joscasle Great looking plane! Photography is tough. If you can't get the lighting and exposure right, you can always fix it in Photoshop (most of the time). The white back dropped Tomcat looks a little orange. You can filter that in Photoshop. Orange and blue are opposites. Blue will help filter that out. So will lightening it.

@peter

Thanks guys, yep it is a learning expirience for sure. Thank you for your comments

well, testing my new camara, I know I need to implement a good "photo boot", but I need to understand how to use the camara first, jejjeje

These is my recently almost finish Tamiya 1/48 F-14A VF-41 circa 1990.

Hasegawa 1/48 YF-19 done!!!

The Super in 1/48 is heavy!!!

I'm still stuck in prep hell with the V-Siren. Checked the pose for the 100th time and adjusted the shoulder armor layers.

One more go at the angle of the feet...

I also want to add a piece of additional head armor that's in Nagano's illustration

Nice job!

@joscasle Your super CF is looking amazing! I can't wait to see it all done. From my experience, the magnets are tricky to get right. 

Thanks Gabe !!! I owe you a lot, that's your color combination for the super packs! And the magnets, well ... It is better to install them before gluing and painting the wings hehehehehehehe, my mistake.

Looks great so far, love the use of magnets! 

I'm also working on a VF-1A CF with Fast Packs. Just curious, what shade of paint did you use for the light brown? 

Hi!  aflter a lot of tests, I use for main colo Tamiya LP-76, with a marble coat of varios shades os light brown, LP-77, Gaianote 201,204, deck brown and sandy yellow. The top coat was LP-76.

VF-1A SUPER MASS PRODUCTION CONTINUES

Started to apply some decals, use magnets for the weapon pilons, bad idea to do that after you glue the wing pieces, but works 

Use a random number for the Valk.

Nice!  Is the new 1/48 snap/press fit like the Battroids? 

No not at all, but it is very well engineered.

Not glue at all.

Gear up....was it as much of a PITA as it was with the 1/72s?  I never want to do a gear up 1/72 Valkyrie again, lol!

 

It is not a PITA, in fact it is a fun build, except for the fact that if you want to build it in flight mode, closing the wheel wells is complicated, Hasegawa should provide these parts. Finding a good display stand is very difficult too.

1/48  VF-1A Super Cannon Fodder continue

Thanks everyone, the RVF-19 & Drones were a fun build and I have more projects on the list to complete. 

@MechTech  What mecha is that from, I like it. 

@Thom I'm not on top of my WWII fighters like I used to be, is that a Spitfire in the works? 

This is what the Drones are escorting. 

 

Nice!!!  We NEED more stands for Macross Valkyries!!!! 1/48 STANDS please!!!

A little update

What are the ratios? Would that be the same mix for the TV SDF-1?

Gabe's mix

I put aside the 1-48 YF-19, a lot of problems with paint :(, so I started a new project, 1/48 VF-1A Super Cannon Fodder TV version.

Here the pics.

Color test for the "main" color

Color test for the fast packs TV (Love it, GabeQ's mix)

Great news. Love your builds!!!

Gabe's mix test. Looks really nice. Don't have Tamiya blue, I use gaianotes blue.

Really happy with the results.  Thanks a lot

Hi, some time ago (like 8 years lol) some told me to use Model Master RLM24 Dunkelblau, the shade is very similar. Gabe's custom mix looks really nice.

WOW!!! Thanks a lot

In episode 30 the packs are blue .

what color is that in your opinion? blue or green?
