Thanks Carlos! I'm doing my best whenever I can find the time. A couple days ago I was able to find some time thankfully. I took some time to remove the masking from the C-118 to see how things look. I was very pleased with the white cover, but a mite disappointed at the slight setback of lifted paint. Some of the Tamiya peeled off with the tape, so I'll have to re-mask this again to get the silver/aluminum coat re-shot.
It's a bit hard to see, but a close look will will show where things peeled:
While I was airbrushing, I finally shot a coat of light tan on the Hampden for the first color:
I saw the seam above and got it fixed. Later on I masked off the tan with Silly Putty to prepare for the second color:
Finally, I got the dark green shot on this:
Afterward I peeled off all the Silly Putty to see how well things look. I'm fairly pleased at how this looks now:
Now to clearcoat this and apply the decals. I did coat them with a liquid decal film before hand to prepare them for the application.
Finally while everything was drying and setting up, I pulled out the Mach 5. I painted the engine with Oily Black first:
Later on when that dried, I dry-brushed it with Steel to bring out a metallic look to this:
Now I assembled the whole interior into the body and closed it up inside with the chassis. That way, I can fix the seams on the front of this model and make it smooth and white:
The engine looks pretty good in there now:
That's all I have for now on these. Not sure when I can get back to these, but at least there's some progress done so far. Thanks all for looking in, comments are welcome.
