I haven't check in here in a awhile, but man I'm glad it did today Neo - looks great.

I'd add some extra weathering around it and make it part of the finish. ;D
Adds some character I think.

 

[Neo]

Ive got a couple of options.
1- take another "Z" from the decal sheet and apply over this one
2- that the top bar of the "Z" for the decal sheet and apply over this one
3 Try to remove the top bar from the one on the tail and replace it with the one from the decals sheet(the problem is that i reapplied future so it would not get worst)

Let me know what you think

Neo

Well i went with option #2

Looks ok

Cheers Neo

 

[Neo]

This is how option #2 turned out

and the result :

I also did a wah on the underside. This started as a pastel panel wash and ended up in a full wash as i was enjoying the result as i went along.
This is my first weathering job and im pretty satisfied. Note the darker spot are touch up waiting to dry and wipe down. After looking at the pic i noticed that i forget the front gear well so i added some and its drying as we speak

Also the dumb thing of the day : I removed all the canopy masking and installed it(TRM knows why i needed to see inside the cockpit while installing the canopy ..). Now i want to say a satin coat once the weathering is done ..... satin and clear part dont give great results... ill have to think f something

More to come soon

Cheers

Nice work fixing that decal

 

[JMac]

Good work fixing up the decal. That had to be frustrating.

For the canopy, maybe try some liquid masking agent.

Thanks for all your motivating comments


Well for since i was not satisfied with the pastel chak wash on the underside i decided to go with a oil wash on the top for the panel line. Again this is a first time and it came out ok

I applied some liqud mask over the canopy(thanks JMac forgot i had some of that) and shot a satin coat.. yeah im starting to take advantage of the new Air brush...

Shes really becoming a nice McDonnell as "Im loving it"

LoL

more soon

Neo

[Neo]

Thanks guys

nice im really wondering if i should remove all the under side wash and do it like the top

 

[Quaralane]

Excellent work on the topside of this bird

 

[ShutterAce]

That's awesome!. The bottom of thgese things could get really messy so I'd say your safe either way.
