Got the 2 little ones ready for paint...

Image

Started with the J-15.
Dark grey "primer", which is also a color used in some areas. Those areas were masked, then I sprayed the light grey areas, masked, then the darker light grey areas, masked, then carried on with the usual pre-shading...

Image

I mixed up yellow/camo grey/tan...for the overall yellow primer...

Image

This is the particular airframe I'm doing...

Image

There is quite a bit missed on the instructions....it is a Trumpeter kit, so what can you expect?!!! This kit is a Chinese knockoff of a Chinese knockoff!!!

After masking the tail, I mixed up willow green/camo grey/tan, for the tail...

Next, I'll get the other one caught up...then paint the NMF/exhausts at the same time.

Your airbrushing and colors used are excellent
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

There's spraying paint on plastic and then there is making a model come alive with color. Your work is always the latter.

Oh Lord that’s tasty! The modulation you got in that color pushes it over the cliff for me. It’s beautiful. You took a color that by rights should be considered “boring” and laid it down classy and sexy and made it interesting. Lovely. I can’t wait to see what you do with the rest of the camo scheme.

Thanks, dudes!
That was a very tough color to get...right?...acceptable?
Amazing how different it can look, depending on the lighting...even more-so with pics, which don't show it "true to the eye". (The subtle fading/weathering is blown out).

Been slow goin' (I have a remodel project going)

Got the 35 painted up.

Mixed RLM65, 76, and just a touch of "True Blue" for the overall. Light ghost grey. I saw refs that pointed to "true blue" for the camo. It looked WAY too blue and stupid. I mixed up something else and resprayed. It was better, but still looked stupid. Ended up using Intermediate Blue with a touch of true blue and sprayed yet again.
Going to keep this one on the fairly clean side.

Metal areas were done with MM metalizers, tinted with paint. Sprayed "exhaust" as a base, the rest (tinted colors) were done with dry brushing.

Gloss and decals next!
