Thank you Zac, Rick, PrzemoL, WD and Alan!
Very neat airbrushing. Masking always makes me tremble, no matter if it is plastic or resin.
Since I draw the masks in Inkscape I create a second layer, here a cut at the diameter in the middle of the white. While spraying blue I can protect the red area with the inner circle, then cover the blue with the outer ring to spray red.
That way is much easier, no bleeding on the border of the masks
I hope my description was good enough, since I forgot pictures during the process.
If not I can can try to make pictures while doing the cockade on the fuselage. I have not done them in parallel because I'm waiting for the decals of the serial number on the rudder. The decals are marked with 1/48 but I do not know the real size:
- if the numbers are to small I will do the "N1388", which had no cockades on the fuselage.
- if the numbers are ok I will do the "A6686" and add the cockades on the fuselage
I wish I had gotten some DB paint when it was available.
There are two sides to this!
I ordered some of the paints for testing and got glass bottles: I really like the color shades and they spray great.
So I ordered more of them later even the price was high (compared to Tamiya and Gunze) and shipping also not cheap. I got all of them in plastic bottles. So far so good.
I may build a lot of models, but not that much and the planes are not big so I expect that the colors are usable for a long time. But I noticed a smell and realized a bad thing: The thinner has diffused through the plastic bottles! The paints were very thick even with refilled thinner.
So I ordered 25 glass bottles in the net and spend the whole afternoon today to rescue my investment. After a lot of shaking and cleaning the paints are now in new glass bottles. Especially the mixed paints were problematic and the pigments separated, but I want to have the complete mixture in the new bottles.
BTW, the paint in the original glass bottles are as fresh as on the first day.
So no work on this Triplane.
Cheers,
Frank
