Made this test of most of the Vallejo metal color range if anyone finds it useful. They're all painted on top of model air black which is matt so I assume there's more shine to gain from using a glossy color. This is all indoor lighting under LEDs so results may vary and they're just point and shoots with a phone camera.

>>11790123
Literally do what you want with model kits. That's the beauty of them. You don't have to paint everything light ghost grey and wank over accuracy if you wanna make a coast guard one do that and have fun with it. What's the point of spending all this time on making something you don't actually want to make...?

I’ve got a polar lights batmobile based off the 60s batman show batmobile.
It is advertised as snap fit.
I just realized that I’ve never applied decals. Ever.
So I remember decal adhesive and other such solutions from tamiya but I also remember a tutorial about applying decals without such products. I think.

Are the products relating to decal application worth it for convenience if they are convenient?

I’m fairly new to scale model stuff.

>>11791032
The decal products definitely make the difference, especially when it comes to applying decals to non-flat surfaces
Just make sure to cut up the decals before soaking them and not dunk the entire sheet in water

>>11791035
Yeah I’ve got a hobby knife for the job.
What decal adhesives and related products for decal application are best and nontoxic if possible?

On a slightly unrelated note.
What are the best acrylic paint products for adding things like dirt and grime and rust etc. effects to models?
I try to avoid nontoxic stuff as much as I can.

>>11791041
Decal solutions aren't toxic or have any kind of noxious smell. I'm pretty sure they're just like various dilutions of vinegar. They work best over a glossy surface.

>>11791032
if they're decent ones and they're going on a simple flat or curved surface, you should be ok with water

>>11791064
Also this yeah. You only need to get autistic about decals if they're going over raised or sunk detail like rivets, panel lines that kind of thing. A simple decal on a flat surface will work just fine with water.

>>11790031
This is why I haven't wanted to get another car, in addition to the no space for a litter box besides the bathroom

>>11791060
>>11791064
>>11791075
Thanks bros!
I’m thinking that I’ll play it safe with solutions instead of trying to wing it instead with water.
My local game store sells Ak interactive. If they have decal assisting products are they going to be good quality?
If not then how are tamiya’s stuff? Do they live up to Japanese high quality sayings said by weebs?

Are etching tools like pic related usable for 28mm 1/56(?) scale miniatures, infantry and cavalry to be more specific? Can I press pic related to masking tape to leave a permanent pattern?

To elaborate, I've used tamiya elastic masking tape and leatherwork punches to create extra armour plates on my miniatures, such as in pic related. But I wonder if it is possible to create lamellar or scale patterns on these strips.

>>11791330
I'm not speaking from experience, but my other experience tells me that surely you'd want to use that brass photo etch as a stencil and then make the thickness difference happen by adding eg. primer? See this example I stole online where adding uneven layers of primer by masking off the panel lines is used to make a stressed skin/uneven thickness effect to the end result. It's a >leddit post but he explains that he masked off every panel line (thats where I see your stencil come in) and sprayed primer on top to make these uneven thicknesses, then sanded randomly to even out the effect a bit

Thanks for the reply, but I'm afraid that technique is not applicable here. I would like to make armour plates like pic related. From my experience I can't get thin enough pieces from green stuff and the masking tape+hole punch method I've used is more applicable for single plates like rondels etc.

>>11791342
Maybe there's some ways to burnish the tape into small engraved items you might find on a flea market or a second hand store? I'm thinking old brass petroleum lamps or something? I think that would last better than that stencil which I think might come apart

Go to your local home supply shop and look for hexagonal pattern mosquito nets

Mosquito net is a great idea! It could be cut and shaped easier than the steel mesh, which would probably destroy the leatherwork punches I've got.

Wat do? Just accept it?

Could I separate the two greens with oil-dot filters, with the H303 getting more lighter dots (more white, yellow, light blue), and the H309 getting more darker dots (more burnt umber, maybe even black)? Or should I just go over H309 with it mixed with some very dark color?

Papershit or not, one thing I'm not sure is "realistic" is the rim-antenna being on the turret. The Tiger had the radio in the hull, so the antenna was on the hull. Since it wasn't the 1960's, the Japanese couldn't miniaturize electronics for shit yet, so I'd assume their radio was either the same size, or maybe even bigger than the original German radio. That means the interwar-style rim-antenna would possibly go around part of the hull.

Having the radio in the hull, but the antenna in the turret would mean complicating the electrical slip ring unit (pic related, it sits at the bottom of the hull, in the rotational axis of the turret) even more, with another contact, maybe even a pair of contacts.

is xf62 supposed to be super dark or is vma olive drab the better colour match
i would post pics but it's under a whitewash

I bought a gaahleri ghad 68 a while back.
Let it get dirty and plan to restore it.
I consider myself still a retard with airbrushes.
If I manage to get it working again and it turns out to be a piece of shit then what superior replacement airbrush should I get that has the same ergonomic design architecture?
Preferably with ease of disassembly to fix and clean while still being robust and reliable.

I preferred it over the traditional airbrush design.

Is the traditional airbrush design unchanged due to a tradition of familiarity?

Just clean the damn thing properly. You letting the 68 deteriorate from lack of cleaning and maintenance will not be fixed by owning a more expensive one. They ARE easy to disassemble and clean, all airbrushes I've touched from chink shit to fancy ass CRplus'es are the same component makeup in essence, it's the manufacturing tolerances that make the difference

How do I tell if my airbrush has deteriorated beyond being able to be fully restored?
I haven’t seen any rust marks.
I’ve been out of the hobby for a while.

If it is beyond repair then what is a better airbrush replacement built like pic related but better at being as robust at being abused and repaired and handled by retards like myself?
Think the Ak rifle as it is so easy to operate and handle and fix to working condition that even children can do it and they do?

The idea for the paint job was that for the prototype they took an active-service Tiger-1 and dropped a new Porscheturm on it.

In reality the hulls would have been new production and slightly redesigned, but this kit is kind of a cash-grab, with sprues from the Tiger 1 and Porscheturm Tiger 2 kits tossed together.

In the end the VK 45.02(H) never left paper, the Germans decided that it was not worth putting an interim design into production while they wait for the King Tiger, they'd rather just keep making the Tiger I till then.

A lot of words to say nothing. Clean the fucking airbrush. You will not have a better experience with even the fanciest alternate options if you don't learn to clean it thoroughly every time you stop using it. Stop reading AI shit. Clean your airbrush with whichever thinner or cleaner is appropriate for the paint you used in it and let the nozzle soak in it for a while to get it all loosened up. Don't buy another airbrush before you've cleaned this one.

Airbrushes don't magically go bad after a year in storage. O-Rings and seals have a certain lifespan depending on environment, but no less than 8-10 years before the molecules start breaking down and releasing the sticky sort of compound you'd find on old Playstation controllers or some car dashboards.

So if I get this correct they are going to be selling the files to allow people to 3D print them at home. Will this include all of their old models or is it a complete "starting from scratch". I assume they have all the files on hand but I could definitely see certain models from the 2000s or early 2010s being lost.
The second question is what is Dragons relation to Cyber Hobby? I don't know much about the companies besides the fact Cyber Hobby sells variants of the models.

It is done - the 6th of my 1/48 scale Ace Combat Zero jets, the Rot Team Eurofighter Typhoon. As documented in the threads the Revell kit was pretty good (only the outer main gear doors were weird as shit) to build but I can't really speak from the accuracy. Livery is hand masked with tape and patience, roundels and squadron logos once again designed and cut with a Cricut. Tried some semi transparent painting stencils and they make the alignment MUCH easier, so I recommend getting some of that if you try vinyl cutters.

I picked an asymmetric loadout for no other reason than it looks more interesting, I don't even know if the Typhoon can split pylons like this (I would assume so since the Gripen and Rafale can) but it looks neat. Very happy with this one, only very minor frustrations

>>11797559
Thanks! I stripped the exuast to try and get rid of all the joins, I almost got rid of them all. It definitely looks better than if I just glued the plated parts together.

Tried to spray moltow liquid chrome thinned with levelling thinner and it didn't quite come out like the mirror finish I've seen online. Still looks nice.

The instructions for the ar 250 dont include any special instructions how to embelish the cockpit, aside for three or four decals here and there. I usually paint the nobs and dials into eithet black, white or red, but I have no idea what to do with these panel/boxes on the side of yhe cockpit. I suppose that it is something found across other aircraft of comparable size and role. Any advice?

I stripped all of my paint and redid it, but still was not satisfied, so I did it again. Time three was not 100%, but decided to use the decals. I will post pictures soon once I have painted some more details and attached my canopy (away from camera, but pictures will still be guaranteed dogshit regardless).

In the meantime, any more tips on paint mixing and thinning?

What's with the compulsion of using paper masking tape instead of an actual material like metal, clay or putty? You do realize that the paper will deteriorate and easily detach from the models, right?
Also using putty or clay you would be able to do the stuff with patterns that you describe.

>>11799417
Idk about the Arado 240 specifically but for the Luftwaffe in general you should make the crew spaces in a dark grey (RLM-66), all the boxes would be the same colour as the structure, visible cables can be yellow and switches are either grey, yellow, black, white or red, the ends of levers usually red or yellow (mostly yellow). The horseshoe shaped thing could be part of the oxygen syetem which would be a cyan blue.
If you can find interior images then bright and dark details are usually yellow and red, unless they are part of the radio or dials

My submission for the Japan group build - the 1/48 Hasegawa Mitsubishi T-2CCV. Really an extraordinarily nice kit to build from Hasegawa. I expected it to be much more of a pain but it's been smooth sailing, and a fun paint job to make despite my fuck up with the stripe thickness that I simply can't redo and match the color tone. I assume this is basically the regular T-2 or F-1 kit as well so if anyone's been thinking about getting one of these, I thoroughly recommend it, really nice to make. And comes with fucking pilot figures too unlike every other 1/48 kit, I'll save them for something else

Who knows, this might happen. Remember that for example Vulcans were painted atomic-flash white and supposed to fly in at high altitude. Then when Soviet radar and SAM technology became an unavoidable threat, they switched to blasting through the terrain almost at treetop height, and got an appropriate camouflage pattern.

Maybe in the future they figure out some sensor that defeats radar-stealth completely and these gen 5 and gen 6 air-superiority gray fighters will have to hug the ground again like the F-4's, Tornado's, F-111's, etc. had to and we get camouflagekino again.

what is the masking goo called?

>>11803034
Not impossible but I also think that in a potential SEA war scenario again camouflaging for terrain rather than for air superiority at 30k feet+ makes a lot more sense. I get that ghost grey is one of the hardest colors to pick out from most backgrounds in the sky it's just so damn boring.

>>11803273
You might think I spent hours making some sort of intricate camouflage here but you'd be wrong. It's all just bits of Tamiya tape (the 15mm one) cut into random sharp shapes and slapped on top of each other. Once you know this you can maybe even tell where one tape piece ends and the other one begins. I literally did the whole masking job in 10 minutes

>>11803663
It's the cars of the sky. They are cleaner and shinier than planes and other military vehicles normally are. Other than that, the kits are generally not quite as good because of lack of popularity, expect the tools to be old and the decals even older.

How do I improve? I thinned my paints so it took two or three coats for a nice and even finish, should it be even thinner?

Part of it could be just a low end camera and I forgot to clean the lens.

>>11803887
All water-based acrylic matte has this issue, but it's solvable. On the presumption that you don't have a vortex mixer, shake the fuck out of it and if you think that's enough then shake it more. Earlier bottles you used might not have sat as long and had time to settle out so they were already better mixed.

Second, you can thin matte sealer with water to improve its flat finish if shaking still wasn't enough.

In both cases it's the carrier medium causing the gloss, not the matting agent.

I'm trying to take a crack at the revel F-22. I know it's infamous for being a below average tooling. Anyone have any tips on how to work with it?

>>11805469
How about you don't be a useless nigger and instead start building it and then ask for advice about particular problems you encounter rather than this retarded way of asking open questions with little to no chance of being answered decently?

>>11805239
What paint are you using? Not all paints can be thinned to work well. I'd suspect you are simply using some that are never going to yield decent results for you whether it is inappropriate paint or something half cured in your storage that makes it behave like this

I'm always surprised how the fuck you could lose a gigantic part like that.

>>11805479
Okay this makes it a genuine skill issue. Now since you repainted that model after already fucking it it's hard to judge if the second attempt was better but those should be decent paints if you actually shake and mix them properly before using them. Idk if it's possible anymore but try and get a hold of some plastic spoons and experiment with thinner ratios until it clicks and you get smooth coverage. You ARE thinning with the right thinners too and not just using water right?

>>11806027
Yeah, AK thinner on both since I have read that the thinner is completely compatible with Vallejo paints. Paint to thinner is about 1:1, but should it be even thinner?

I paint inside with a humidity setting at 60% versus 85-100% outside 10 months out of the year, no clue if humidity in the air could be a factor too from extended paint drying as well as paint tending to act like a "thicker" substance with sagging et al. (an issue which I have not had, but early on when I was a newer modeller, had).

Academy 1/72 Mig-23S is done. Satisfactory results despite the rather poor quality of the kit overrall and rather quick build time. The fitment was generally ok, detail is practically non existant in the cockpit, and the instructions are just plain awful. Definitely an ok kit to practice with, they're very cheap.

I just wanted to get something that wasn't german, japanese or american on my shelf and also to thin the stash a bit. I completed 3 last month which is well above average for me.
Not sure what I'll build next. I might tackle the Tamiya 1/48 FW-190D-9 next since its the last remaining kit in my stash that I bought in 2024. I've got quinta 3d decals for that one so it should be a good looking build inside and out.

Jo-Han and AMT. Both companies made model cars for dealership promos. When Revell and MPC entered the market, they adopted the scale. Only Monogram went outlier with 1/24. As Monogram was later absorbed by Revell, that's why Revell now sells 1/24 and 1/25. With 4/5ths of legacy tooling 1/25, 1/25 is basically the default American Car Scale. The only company that was different no longer exists.

That greenish blue color is such a funky choice for weapons. Does anyone know why the Chinese went with it? It's not really all that good at hiding against the background whether sky or ground I guess

They're probably inert. Packed into the weapons bay for the airshow demo.

NATO uses sometimes just blue stripes, sometimes also full blue body color.

I wonder what is the process behind exhibiting a model in a museum
I've been to places where they look like they were passionately made by twitterbro

>>11810781
i guessing the ultra high sheen black chrome didnt work out

>>11810950
Yeah the spoon test was a bit of a disaster and I didn't wanna spend days fucking around with graphite powder. Just used mr hobby metallic black.

>>11810302
Is the problem you’ve noticed of everything sticking to it happening even after the varnish has cured?

>>11810936
usually the dogshit ones like that are actual models from actual companies from when they're trying to sell their kit and want to flatter people but not in a way that costs too much money
as for getting into the business of actual museum models, either get cozy with the curatorial staff and/or get into a serious modelling club which will have connections to the museums and be a way for the museum to offload the headaches of dealing with autist modellers

just bought my kit for my entry

For someone who paints models with acrylics is tamiya’s mark fit (not the strong one) enough?
I have looked up tutorials and it is mostly the mark fit strong that gets used.
>t. Hobby newcomer never applied a decal

The Zagreb show has begun, I drove 800kms there specifically to ensure my models are not turned to dust from rough handling
I guess pinoys are more trusting of the airline and/or shipping business

Depending on the museum you don't even really need connections. Most exhibited items of that sort are donated to the museum from inheritances or others, some museums have a good spot for it and like it, some will probably just throw them out.

The key is that, in my many many many aviation museum visits around the northern hemisphere, they are always built boomer style very clean and simple and unweathered. The stylistic choices involved in weathering (even pre shading) seem to be off putting to museum curators. I guess it makes sense too if you just want a straight forward and clean example to show people, especially as they do in most museums where they have eg. the engine of a crashed FW-190 and then a model of said plane sitting next to it looking factory fresh.

At some point you dust off your models, right? And definitely before they start looking like a rock formation
Especially if you will present them to other people at a show

spent a bit of today painting this tamiya bf-109, tried out atom paints for it and i think theyre alright. they spray kinda odd though nd i think i just gotta get used to it

>>11812605
this was before i fucked the canopy by spraying a clearcoat over it after taking the masking tape off

>>11812605
From the specks around the model I think you need a bit extra thinner or retarder in it. Nice scheme though

>>11812605
Did you use the decal for the blue stripe?
The fuselage seam in front of the canopy should be filled.

>>11812883
yeahhh i was spraying it a bit thick, i do however love how it looks
>>11812917
i masked and painted instead, again was applied a bit thick though

Apart from taking some better pics of it I think the J-20 is done. Under, the next project awaits... But I really don't know where the hell I have the room for a finished Felon

Very nice, congrats! Which model did you get it for?

How the fuck do you even scratch build a BMW GINA in 1:24 scale?

Started the Soya, my first time working work hasegawa plastic and I already cut myself in a really fucking annoying spot

>>11811180
Yeah, the finish itself is such that it just catches absolutely every floating fiber and piece of dust. That's how matte surfaces work, they are not smooth but really uneven on a microscopic level, which incidentally also works really well to have stuff stick to it.

Looks like you would need to wrap a bat in a condom and call it good.

Started building a 1/48 Zvezda Su-57 with a very nice additional Eduard cockpit pack. Because who likes flat detailless cockpits. Gonna be another Ace Combat Zero build, replacing the Su-47 for Gault since there simply is no 1/48 Su-47 and the work required to print one or get someone to print one is just not worth the effort of these builds
