Camo came out looking great might just have to try doing it this way one day.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Re: 1/48 Hasegawa Arado 234 Blitz-Topside Almost Finished-04
Thanks guys. Sorry for the absence this last week. I took off two days from work this week. Had problems with one of my teeth that gave me problems in the 7-8 on the pain scale range. Went to the dentist and he gave me these antibiotics that reeked havoc on my stomach wise and I had that "disconnected" feeling. Really sucked. I took two days off from work and pretty much slept both days.
BUT...………….I'm back in the saddle again my fine feathered friends.
Did ALOT of work today on this bird. The friggin' landing gear legs broke loose from their mounting and I had to re-glue those back on.
I've pretty much completed the camo scheme for this aircraft and have to say that this one goes down as one of the most difficult paint jobs that I've done yet with all the black basing, marbling and masking. Sheesh!!! With all that being said and aside from needing to paint the back of the engine nacelle a burnt black here's where we are now:
and the bottom side.
after the burnt black application on the engine nacelle we'll be off to completing the nose section and applying a gloss coat! My FAVORITE part.

That is coming along nicely, Joe. What color is that on the underside. It looks a little gray to be RLM 76.

Thanks fellas!
Paul: It's just the way the light is hitting it. Actually in person it looks almost a little too blue.

Re: 1/48 Hasegawa Arado 234 Blitz-Update-04/14
I shot the gloss on yesterday but before I did I performed some test shots of different glosses to use over the camo work that wouldn't dissolve it with some of the stuff that I currently use.
I started with Testors Acrylic Gloss- It sucked. As a matter of fact that stuff should be taken off the market.
Vallejo Acrylic Gloss--Didn't suck as bad but it still sucked.
Finally I used the good ol' standby for acrylic-Tamiya Clear--Best out of the three but still not what I'm used to. I went ahead and used it but have some wet sanding to do before it reaches my level of acceptance on how smooth a clear coat should be. Anyhow....waiting for additional cure out before I start any more work on it.
