thanks fellas.

These days I could do almost anything I just made ​​some accompanying photos have just finished painting the clear after removal from plane

Why was it necessary to remove the canopy? It looked pretty good.

Same here: the canopy looked good when in place, so why was it necessary to remove it again?

Camouflage colours look nice, what paints did you use?

the remove the canopy is only because the paint some interior parts that I thought were good so it was not stuck and took off so I had to get her to repegar those pieces.

I use almost exclusively Gunze very dilute, the primer floor give it in gray or black also very dilute Vallejo, the latter to mix me I give a fellow a magnetic mixer but I fabricate one with a computer fan and some magnets as vallejo is is to mix very nicely not to do lumps

A computer fan to mix paints? Now, THAT sounds interesting! Any pictures of this device?

It is a very simple and made with waste products from the working device, the case is polycarbonate 2mm cuts protacciones of the machine, the fan is out of an old tower that had to house, the power supply of the same tower and magnets are 2 possible faulty hard drives without repair and a former speaker.





.

the power supply need to be old to have performed a bridge between these two wires to activate the output feeding, feeding with the 5 V (red wire) and 12V (yellow wire), the fan going at full speed, to regulate the rotational speed has to put a potentiometer in the yellow wire to reduce the voltage on the wire that will reduce fan speed.
if you want to do with on-off switch without disconnecting from the source is single 5v cable is inserted the switch.
I use as shaker needle bearings usually about 4mm long and 2mm in diameter are pretty cool

forgive my English but are not fluent, and not know it means MOFO. Might you explain me?

thank you

I put a photo that is my first of coat of paint usually give you only one color but it is what he looks like to give you that presence or appearance of wear to the paint.



give effect to the painting is so broad as to do very worn paint or almost wear a chromatic range is achieved and depth that can be dispensed with later steps, such as oils or part of the weathering
