P-47D Thunderbolt – part 2

As ususal the build starts with the cockpit. I cleaned up the parts and then painted some of them black and the rest in dull dark green.

After painting the backside of some parts, I started painting details.

As can be seen I’ve also started assembling the pilot. I decided to have him sitting in the plane and will omitt the pedals as per instructions. A few more details was painted.

After that I could assembly the cockpit.

Next will be some minor weathering and then I’ll put the cockpit where it belongs and will close the fuselage.

P-47D Thunderbolt – Hasegawa 1/32

I’m going to build this for the Large Scale Planes 25th anniversary, in the group build Silver Jubilee.

The kit is intended for Gabreski’s plane as can be seen on the box, but I’m going to build this version instead.

Just to fit the theme with any plane silver or the number 25.

I will start the build as soon as possible.

EE Lightning F6 – part 2

First I painted to the best of my ability all the dark sea grey areas.

Then the grey areas was masked off with black goo.

Dark green was painted.

Turns out I had a few missed spots that needed to be taken care of.

Not perfect, but a lot better!

So how did it go with the 2 or 3 years old tape and the paint that was under?

Actually bloody perfect! The stabilizers broke off but that’s really no problem at all.

Next will be to paint everything else that isn’t painted, and to give the plane a clear cote.

Spitfire Mk1 – part 11

The work with the camo contiues. First of all, don’t leave the black goo too long! 🙂

Then this happens! No bigger problem to fix though.

After some back and forth with the camo colours and masking, it looks like this.

I had a bit of overspray on the underside.

Easily sorted though.

Now it’s ready for clear cote and later decals.

Spitfire Mk1a – part 10

The underside was masked and then the topside was given a preshade in black.

Then dark earth was painted over that.

Then I used some black symbiote goo was used to cover parts that shouldn’t be painted.

After that I painted dark green.

Turns out that I got some of the fields all wrong. Something I have sort before proceeding.
Other than that I’m quite happy with the colours.

Bane’s Tumbler – part 5

After checking pics on the net, I started painting Bane.

Almost all painting is done with Speed Paint colours. I used Vallejo gunmetal to metal parts on his face mask and some other metal parts. I’ll check pics again to see if there are other details I need to paint.

His base also need to be sorted and I’ve put a bit of putty in the middle. I’m not sure what colours I want to have his base. Dirt or tarmac perphaps.

Bane’s Tumbler – part 4

With the panels painted, it’s time to glue some panels.

The roof took a while to get in place correctly as it’s many points that need to fit and lock.
Left to do is sorting some details and touch ups. After that I’ll do some weathering and also Bane need some paint.

Bane is a resin printed figure by the looks of it. Quite nice though. I used one of my spare warhammer bases and glued him on it and painted him black.

Next I’ll do some zenithal primer and dry brushing and I’ll also check pics of him before I start painting him.

Bane’s Tumbler – part 3

Masking the splinter camo took quite some time!

I had to assemble the rocket launcher i order to get the camo right, and I also had to check some of the other panels that had patterns that continued from one to the other.

Once the masking was done, I could lay down some paint.

I also had to paint a few parts that I’ve missed earlier.

After removing the tape the panels looked like this!

I almost forgot to paint the front.

After checking, there was a few spots to touch up. Once that was done I could finally start assembling things again.

Next will be some detail painting and adding more panels and stuff.
