Hasegawa 48 scale Draken

[WayneBt]

Unfortunately my work bench always looks that way. Even when I am not building anything.

 

[Quaralane]

Mine looks much the same way, most of the time.

The Draken is looking sharp

Oh that looks good!
Can't wait to see more!

It's been almost a month since posting anything. The weather didn't help. To muggy and damp to paint. Nice cool weather is here and I put some paint on the Draken. My way of painting if I want to have the plane look used is to add some black to the base color and put a coat of paint on all over. Then I take the base color and paint in the panels. This way if I screw up or run out of paint I won't have to try to get the right ratio. Then I give a light spray to blend it all together. So here is the bottom and top of the Draken. I am liking the Talon paint even more. The tape was on for almost a month and nothing peeled.

All comments are welcome.

Looking really good there

Looking sweet!

 

[Dave The Chef]

Nice shading technique, looks better than normal pre-shading I reckon 8)

 

[Ialarmu]

very nice, breaks up the grey very well.

 

[Carsenault]

That is looking sharp!

I am inspired for sure. I have the same kit and we're having a 1 month strict OOB group build at the Halifax Military Modelers Group. I may have to root about my stash and find it.
I love your work dude!

 

[Ferris928]

Great looking work!

 

[JMac]

Nice panel shading...looks very uniformly non-uniform.

Really looks good.

 

[Afterburner]

I agree with the others!! Nice work!

 

[WayneBt]

I have all the decals put on. Here is how it looks now. I have to put another gloss coat over the decals then I can do a wash.

 

[JMac]

Wow that day-glow orange is something else. ;D

Looks good.

 

[WayneBt]

I am hoping the wash will tone it down a bit.

 

[Quaralane]

It should.
Still, that's turning out to be a very nice looking bird

 

[schweinhund227]

Weird looking bird, but in a mean way!!!
Great work! Keep going!

I put a wash on the Draken then gave it a semi-gloss finish. I don't have much luck with flat finishes so most of my models have a semi-gloss coat. Most planes don't have a true flat coat anyway.

 

[JMac]

The semi-gloss looks sharp. Great job Wayne.
