I especially like your brush painting work!! What type of paint and thinners did you use? I have recently been brush-painting with Vallejo Game Colors thinned with Testors Universal Acrylic Thinner (and it has been working nicely), but I am always looking out for other resources.
With these kits I used PollyScale paints for the top surfaces and Lifecolor Sky for the bottom. With acrylic paints I normally thin with water though I have used Xtracrylix thinner with the same brand paints and Tamiya's thinner for it's own paints. The red spinner and the exhuasts and other metallic surfaces were painted with Humbrol enamels. For the matt varnish I used Vallejo's as I only airbrush acrylic paints. This varnish is among the best only second to PollyScale's (which I haven't been able to get anymore). Weathering was done by dry-brushing Humbrol black, rust and light grey enamels.Dave998 wrote:What type of paint and thinners did you use?
And I still have more planes to show and I in my break from MiG-21s I am working on another interesting plane which have very much wanted in my collectionWoit wrote:Miguel, I have to said that you have very interesting collection of 1/144' models.
. It's been recently that the number of 1/144 kits in my collection has exceeded those of other scales. In the last two years I have only built one kit in my previously favourite scale - 1/72.
No I haven't. I have often read that you can't use one over the other but, so far, I don't recall having had problems.One question. I assume you paint exhausts after completing the acrylic camouflage, so have you ever had issues with the solvent in the enamel redissolving the acrylic underneath it?
