[WIP] Revell 1/48 A-37 Dragonfly

[Ferris828]

Ok, major painting is done, just a few details to do yet.
The camo isn’t…exactly the same curves and such, but it’s looks fine to me. Actually, this is my first SEA (South East Asia) paint scheme. I need to redo the masking on the canopy. And checkout what the belly looks like yet. But, here’s where I’m at now.


I know the green Tamiya X-5 came out REALLY strong, hopefully I can turn it down with the clears and flats and a wash. Any ideas would be great.

Thanks for checking it out, Cheers

The camo pattern looks sharp.

A flat coat might settle / tone down the green a little. Maybe a light coat of a really thin flat grey or another tone of green first... Not sure, I was thinking about using some really thinned down greys on my Herc build to break up it's colours and to tone down some surfaces. I've never tried it before, but might it work.

I saw a vid of a guy working on a FW-190 where the guy used a very thinned spray of Buff, but can't seam to find it again. although your idea about the green-perhaps over the X-5-might be better. Perhaps it's time to break out the labs rats and experiment.

Awesome work so far! Really cool paint job.

You can tone it down with a very thin mixture of Tamiya Buff. It really works out and gives the surface a dusty look and blends the camo pattern in.

Thanks for the info!

Well, I painted the nose and top blister black and fixed some overspray issues. I remasked the canopy and got a protective coat of future on the top(so I don’t mar up anything while handling it). Tomorrow I’ll get to the bottom, then slog forth.
Cheers!

Good job on the clear coat....  Moving ahead nicely.   Almost ready for decals?
Keep up the good work
