Wing join seams. I just couldn't leave them alone.

You didn't give up on this, did you? :coolio

 

[Rhino]

Nope! I've been molding & casting TLAR projects like a Mad Martigan! :love The resin & tin-cure mold material has a limited life. Islands, new-tool lighthouse, 1/700 Tiki-hut. Revised 1/700 ORCA, yachts & cabin cruisers.
Not to mention the carburetors, air cleaners & tool box for the 1/24 scale set. :pp :woohoo: :frantic
Herr Udet WILL be flying from Graf Zeppelin soon!! :salute

Having finally chosen the camouflage scheme for Ernst's Navy jet, base color is going on. I pray it sticks to the weird plastic. :idonno

She should look a little like the 1/700 smuggler submarine. Ocean Ambush sort of. :hmmm
Thanks for looking in!

This weird plastic just doesn't like paint. I washed her, wiped her down with rubbing alcohol, and left it alone for quite a while. light coats of Model Master intermediate blue enamel.

Missile launch rails painted.

This might be a really good time to buy shares in Tamiya tape stocks! Kriegsmarine Ocean Ambush paint scheme continues!

Thanks for looking in!

What's the primer?

 

[Rhino]

Primer is Floquil reefer white enamel.

Underside Camo, before the little contrasting triangles get added. The orange peel sanded out with water & a 3M microfine sanding pad. Masking continues!
:yipee

What's the arrow for?

 

[phantom II]

Those Kriegsmarine boys were sure wild :frantic

Keep on Chris Cheers, Christian B)

 

[lupanzer]

Very cool!...

The arrow would be visible to the DKM LSO on approach to the Carrier.
In truth, it's an Omage' to my Archery-Sweetie. She's steely-eyed and deadly with a bow!
Carrier Aviators are a breed unto themselves, based on my long experience, half a lifetime ago! Egotistical liars every one!

Thanks Men!

 

[Sherman 18]

Cool camouflage

I second that emotion about Military pilots . I have to admit though that the Navy pilots had steel balls compared to my service of choice .
