Toboro Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I'm working on two right now. The Hikaru VF 1S is the best valk to start with, although the roy works as well. When painting you will need to at least rough up the surface of the tampo printing as the paint doesn't like to adhere as much to that. I suggest krylon fuzion safety red/ red pepper, Wal mart carries it. I'm doing two at the same time so that I can sell one to pay for the other.

jardann Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Both of those are really awesome. I've been checking back to see if the guy who sold the one on Ebay gets any feedback for the deal. That would indicate that the buyer actually paid and finished the transaction. Nothing so far. Even though it is a great custom, I can't believe someone would pay that much for it.

If I had skills I would just make one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big F Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Just use google with the image search option and you'll get loads of Jetfire images. If you really need some still I can photo mine for you in an nice white neutral photo booth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of photo booths......do you know where I may be able to purchase a small one instead of having to build one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Admiral Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Looks like I've been beaten to the punch. Testors Guard Red is a pretty good match for the Hikaru red. That's what I used on my buddy's custom Jetfire. It comes in a spray can. You will probably want 2 cans. You will also want to use primer. I used Citadel white primer, but if you can find it, the Testors primer will probably be fine. For my photos, I just have a couple sheets of white poster board tacked up so it curves down behind my photo subject. Then just make sure you've got lots of light.

Grand Admiral Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 (edited) These are all the photos I took. If you want more I'll have to ask my buddy if he can take some. http://flickr.com/photos/44124305550@N01/s...57594581298979/ Edited December 13, 2007 by Grand Admiral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
