Italian P-40 "Upgraded"

[Jose Luis Lopez]

Hello again!

No time to rest, just for modelling!

My next work on 1/35, a What If Italian´s P-40. Tamiya´s kit (Italeri reboxed) with some modifications just for fun

The kit before painting



Black and white base



Colors



Just for your information. All the paint work you see was made in just about 4 hours (in three days, one for priming the tank, 1/2 hour, 2 hours for the B&W base and 1 hour for the colors ). So, it´s not a time consuming technique! You just need some training with the airbrush, very dituted paint and paint in several thin layers, that´s all!

Thanks for looking

Very cool Jose

Thanks sirs!

MrT, I first add a nice primer coat (grey). Then, I make a typical preshadowing work.

Once I locate the volumes of the tank and using a range of grey colors (dark grey to almost white), I start lightening the entire kit, just like figures.

Up to your usual high standard eh Jose. Love the camo, very clean....so far. The washes and further weathering is gonna really make this one stand out.

 

[andrei383]

[Dusky]

The paint and weathering look superb!

This kit looks great!!! I've never tried the Black and White method you've done here. I've only preshaded with black. I am going to have to look into this and see how your doing it because its AWESOME!!!!!
