Omega One

Hi Bertt!!! that was the one I was asking for!! Thanks and awesome diorama!! Cheers Andres

HI guys!! Someone a long time ago posted a pic of a diorama, there was a Hasegawa VF-1 Battroid covering behind a building and some soldiers around.... Does anyone remember this?? Pics anyone??? Cheers!! Andres

In my opinion, get a Badger 100G, it`s a double action, gravity airbrush. Regards Andres

To everyone: Real combat aircrafts are matt, flat or dull whe they are recently painted, after some time, the paint becomes satin in most parts of plane because of air+dust friction. You can check this by looking pics of the same at different anlges. Real US Navy planes used to be painted gloss or satin due to a matter of protection for corrosion, untill TPS (tactical paint scheme) was a standar to the fleet, wich is flat under FS codes, but then again, take a look a at a F-14 or F-18 and you`ll see that some parts are satin or even gloss depending on light exposion. ahhh.....BTW in space there is no air..... so no fiction unless you go into earth atmosfere. Regards Andrés

Hi guys!!! after compleating my F-16CJ, I had decided to finnish other in-progress kit that i have laying aroud here and there. One of those kit was a F-14A Fujimi in 1/72, great kit by way!!!...... Kit is out of the box, I only add the FOD covers and made the seat belts with tamiya´s masking tape and tin foil. Was painted with MM enamels and Humbrol enamels, and the weathering was done with W&N artiscts oils and enamels. Well here are the pics, I hope you like it.

Your welcome Grayson!!

Thanks Vince!!! Grayson: thankfully these technique has worked for me pretty well, but you have to be carefull though, because the ACETONE melts plastic. Just try to not over pass the Q-tip or the cotton cloth. BTW works great with tamiya putty. it´s only thing that i can get down here. Regards

Funny dude, very funny ...... read this please ...Filling without sanding OH MAN!!! I wish I could find some Mr. Surface´s stuff down HERE!!!! Anyways..... about the canopy, well it doesn´t look flush with the fuselage because i´m going to leave it in open possition. Still!!! the canopy doesn´t fit perfectly, you´ll need to do some sanding and filling if you are gonna leave it close. Regards to all

Thank you guys for the comments. Answering your questions: David Hingtgen: The weathering, well firts of all I used flat black to pre-shaded it. Then it was painted with several light coats of the base colors. Once these was done I post-shaded the panels with a mixture of the base color and white to tone it down. After all these was done, I gave the kit about two or three coats of Future with a A good a clean brush. Once dry, I used a mix of Winsor & Newton burnt sienna oil paint and Humbrol flat back to make a wash. The wash was cleaned up with an old cotton t-shirt and Q-tips. Then I used a dry pastel pencil to make some details. Then future coats .... and now the Flat coats. That´s it I guess. VF-19:/U] Actually a very easy kit, but you´ll see a coupe of small gaps between the fuselage and wings, a small gap between the intake and the rest of the fuselage, another thing is the union of both parts of the fuselage in the front part of the plane around the nose. NOT A BIG DEAL after a little putty, sanding and nail polish remover. Well i´m glad you like it, and i will post more pics once is done. Regards

hi guys, it´s been a long time since my last post........ok long story, but well..... anyways this is my latest work, not finnished yet but getting close..... these pics shows my F-16 with a gloss coat, but I already have applied a matt coat, but I haven´t taken pics of it yet.

cool, might u be able to scan the instruction sheet for the Revell Tornado? thanks I think i might be able to do it.... give some time to get the instruction sheet out of the boxes.

The Revell kit of the Tornado in 1/72 has this feature in it, not too hard to make it work. Regards
