Title: WNW 1/32 Salmson 2.A2
Post by: gcn on December 08, 2014, 12:28:50 AM

In the true style of a London bus here comes the third one.

The scheme I shall be doing is the Elephant scheme.

after several hours of painting I finally have started to get to the assembly stage

Engine - combination of Vallejo and Tamiya metallics, with Tamiya Intermediate blue thrown into it to add more colour. Washes were Vallejo paint just for a change.

I couldn't stomach the green belts, I didn't have the paint colour anyway. however I did have an abundance of linen coloured paint.

I've painted all the wing undersides. What I tried to do is pre shade colour variations by first priming with black the adding highlights with grey and then white. Then I overpaint the base colour. I will add a final brown oil filter once I have the fuselage colour on.

That is looking really good - great start!

Is the copper a vallejo color? I have been trying to find a good acrylic copper....

Thanks everyone, your comments are much appreciated.

The copper is gunze, I too have been through numerous coppers and this one is the best I've found so far.
