Kenny X’s Reboots
Re: Kenny X’s Reboots
I always wanted to do this scheme and by dumb luck I found an Eduard decal set. So there we go!! Gonna take it slow and steady. No reason to rush like I always used to.

Re: Kenny X’s Reboots
I got a little paint work done on “Black 1” over the Memorial Day weekend. I figured for the horizontal stab that doing the yellow first would be a safe bet. And I don’t have the best history with spraying Tamiya yellow over black, last few times I did it, the paint ended up with the dreaded orange peel (or more appropriate- “lemon”?) texture. For these, I sprayed a thin coat of Hull Red, then a thin coat of RLM Grey, then a thin coat of Khaki, each coat in diffused marble patterns, and after I’d built up that base I then began to lay-down the yellow, in various shades, in more thin coats. I lightened it up on the fabric surfaces. After that I blended it all together. This takes a long time. But I’m happy with the results. Also, I got the light blue on the rudder, and did some mottling with Black Green, trying to emulate the reference illustrations, mostly because I was scared that I’d lost the ability to freehand mottle.

Yellow and white has always been a hard color to airbrush. Some say red is too. Building up in several light coats will achieve the results you’re for. Your yellow has come out fantastic. Bravo!

RED!!! Thank you for reminding me!!
Had to get the red on there too!!
I don’t know what that’s for but it’s probably important
Thanks for coming by with the kind words too!

It's a fixed trim tab and you are not supposed to change it. Hands and feet off! 
I usually undercoat yellow with flat white. Same for gloss white, I build up the white with flat whit, and just put a gloss coat on top. Much thinner paint layer that way. But you are more the artist than I am, Kenny.
