Nice work! I like the multiple tones of bare metal on the F-104. The Tigercat looks cool in grey, too. |

As for the Tigercat, my model cabinet is black, so the dark sea blue models absolutely disappear in there, so I try to find other markings for them if they are available. There wasn't for the F7F, so I just imagined that it carried on flying CAS into the 60's. |

There wasn't for the F7F, so I just imagined that it carried on flying CAS into the 60's. That's a really cool scheme for a Tigercat. It's easy to imagine one painted that way if they'd served a bit longer and it brings some of the AU-1 Corsair schemes to mind. What do you use for your bare metal schemes? I haven't yet attempted one and I'm definitely too chicken to try it with my current skill level. I need to improve my seam work and surface prep before I attempt one. I've heard good things about Alclad but have also heard it can be really fussy. |

I've heard good things about Alclad but have also heard it can be really fussy. I strictly use spray cans on my stuff. I grab a couple of different Tamiya silver colors, Spray one over all, mask some panels, spray it again, mask some panels, spray it again. All exhaust work I do with craft acrylics brushed over the silver base coat. |

How did you do the C-47 prop arc? That looks fantastic! Is that part of the kit, aftermarket or did you make that yourself? A true challenge might be to replicate what you get from a digital photo however.

I cut circles out of some clear plastic from some packaging. I scribed the prop blades with the x-acto, and colored them in with a #2 pencil, and a little bit of yellow paint. |
