1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..Closure of the Fuselage

Outstanding work so far. I love seeing the planes with cutouts to see the "guts"
Of love to do that to a chopper one day.

1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..Decals

Well folks work continues on the P-40B.

The decals are in place. I have glossed them over to prepare for the weathering stage. They went down a dream this time. The subject is "White 68".

Hey Saul, what do you have on the Stuka? You know the usual stuff, bulkheads, frames, fuel cells, etc.

1/32 Trumpeter P-40B..Weathering Phase One

The fun begins.

The process to bring the showroom aircraft to a well used aircraft has started. Using artist oils the process begins with a simple dot filter. Once the filter was blended I used mineral spirits to show some staining. This was in a very random pattern. I added some additional oils in places where I felt and had seen photos of the staining being heavier.

Phase one finished. Next will be phase two, chipping and additional weathering and staining.

Phase two.

For this part of the process I went back through with some oils and also with an Acrylic pin wash to pic out specific spots. I did this after shooting a Flat Clear over the aircraft. I also dry brushed Flat Aluminium in areas that I had seen in photos were subject to wear and tear. I used several brushes from a fine point to a rather large soft brush.

The next stage will be the small detail work in the landing gear and such.

like the chipping but the wash coming down from the hand hold and the exhaust looks more like a wash run. try to blend it in, especially around the demark of the wash where it dried heavy. I like that you're doing this dirty but the leak coming from the hand hold doesn't make sense to me.
