Desert Marlin AutorThe yellow I mixed reminds me of the Humbrol "Yellow Facings" color I used back in the 1970's!

Desert Marlin AutorOne more color and then the mottling. I really enjoy painting these!

Desert Marlin AutorWorking to get the paint mix, airbrush and air pressure to allow me to do the mottling on the sides...

Mark SherwoodSo far, so nice. Yerse, nightmare trying to get those mixes right. Good luck. 👍🥸🤘

Desert Marlin AutorFor some reason I struggled with the airbrush and getting the mottling on. Lots of pressure and viscosity issues...

BetterTimes-HenryI feel your pain. You are so right Desert Marlin, every paint brand is different and has me wresting with the thinner brand/thinning ratio/pressure combo! Please not another variable!

Nick DragoneLooks great, nice paint work. And yes, the temperatures can affect the mixtures and air pressure. I live in New Jersey and we are in early summer but the humidity is creeping up, so yes adjustments need to be done. I find it helpful to have a "mule" airframe and wings that is primed as a test bed.

Desert Marlin AutorThanks Nick! I copied the nice glossy print for the versions and then enlarged to 125%. I cut out the colors, two templates for each side and used those as my "mule". Once I could match the print, I committed paint to the model. It seemed the thinner was drying out very quickly then when it got too thin, I was adding more pigment but that took me into more thinner. Just seemed like a real "goat rodeo"!

Desert Marlin AutorI added a picture for the paints I used to mix the yellow for the wings and nose. I think it matches the tail decal pretty well!

Nick DragoneNice work! I've said it before and will continue to say it, you can't beat a Tamiya kit. Of course your building skills, paint and decals just enhance it. Bravo

Desert Marlin AutorThanks guys! Like I said, these are just really good for making something happen when the other build is dragging on! Cheers!!!
