OK, so over the past week or so I've managed to get paint and a few decals done,
First step was a flat Matt black base
Trying to keep the detail of panels too, so only a light(ish) coating
Next up, masking of the lower hull and water line
Then a nice coating of maroon red
Once dried...
I think I'll be doing a standard paint job, black with the red lower hull sections.....may do a bot of light weathering on certain areas.
lots of seam work and pre-paint prep to do first though
In order to try and get myself back into building (to which I have a number of kits on the pile to finish off) I decided on this nice little build.
I've always wanted to build the Red October, complete with caterpillar hydro drive. Though this kit is a tad on the small side for me to make to...
No problem eNax!
Glad you managed to find a decal sheet that was suitable for you. That Handley Page looks spectacular! If you do it, I'd definitely be looking forward to seeing your build thread for it :)
Very impressed there, glad you took your time with it and didn't rush it. The decals look superb and I'm liking the subtle weathering too.
Wouldn't mind building one myself now :)
