    Question on weathering a p47 d1943 razorback

    Think about it. (I used to be a paint mixer in hardware store back when we manually added tints to a base from a book.) Black (tint) is very very very dark Blue. Mixed with any colour, its effect is like adding blue. As a painter(airbrusher) I know to make something look blacker, add blue...

    Caution!!! Bad Pilots

    The pic is the type of render you get from software like Rhino. If you search you will probably find other listings of the exact same product, and images, listed in different scales. It is possible to make one listing with scale options, but this way is easier since eBay offers free listings...

    Question on weathering a p47 d1943 razorback

    ...B-26 Flak Bait holds the record - over 100 bombing missions. 725 hours of flying time. Far more than any P47 would have endured but the surface of any P47 in 1944 would have looked similar. (although with less missing paint and fewer bullet holes!*). *Flak Bait had over a thousand holes in her!

    Piranha PWI-GR

    This is very interesting. We have a similar looking vehicle parked outside the local armoury in town. It replaced an artillery gun a few years ago. But its not quite the same vehicle is it? I may be wrong, but I think this 8-wheeled Canadian Army vehicle is called a Kodiak? Its more like your...

    Question on weathering a p47 d1943 razorback

    Just to clarify, since you suggested using "oil sludge wash" to create your colour. You are mispronouncing the name of the paint used on warplanes. The colour is "Olive Drab". Olive being a type of green. (so adding "green" at the end is redundant and unnecessary) Drab refers to lack of...

    P-47 Thunderbolt research help

    Marking standards existed then and now, but paint colours were up to individual Groups and Squadrons. Olive drab was/is a colour that the human eye has difficulty seeing under certain conditions making it a perfect camouflage colour. Early 1944, factories stopped shipping aircraft painted with...

    Tom Daniels Tributes - Koolwheelz miniature paper models

    Honest Engine was actually a request (I don't usually do requests) from a good friend. I never had this model but since it also happens to be a Tom Daniel design, it made it in. Originally I had said no because it was too big of a model, requiring more than the standard "one sheet" design. In...
