1/48 Revell Kingfisher...Session 5
Many many thanks.
Moving right along.
Session five was over a few days. Glosscoat was sprayed and once dry decals were applied. After letting them dry some microsol was used on them to get them to settle down. A glosscoat was sprayed to seal them in.
Next will be to let that dry completely then I can move onto weathering.
All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged.

1/48 Revell Kingfisher...Session 6
Many many thanks.
Christian the floats are topside Blue/Grey and bottom Grey. The main float is Grey highlighted with Flat White.
Now for session six. I am going to call this session "staining".
My first step is to dry brush the incredibly bright decals. Going with the base colors I was able to knock the shine down a bit and simulate a bit of wear and tear. Once done with that I brought out the oils and added some staining and streaking. I did not go wild with this but I did accomplish what I wanted.
Overall.
And a bit of a close up to show it a bit better.
Next session will cover doing some chipping and some of the smaller stuff that still needs to be added.

1/48 Revell Kingfisher...Session 7
Session seven is in the books. Almost there.
This session was all about prepping for the finish. The gear for the aircraft being on land is on. Other little bits and pieces are on.
Next up is the final push.
The final update will be the finished build.

Well the Kingfisher is finished.
About the kit. Not really a bad kit. Went together ok. I will say construction would be much easier with the main float cut away from the fuselage. This would allow a less awkward situation for both the construction and seam work. The decals were a bit thick but they went down fine.
All in all I am happy with the paint work. It has a used but not abused type of look.
