February 19, 2021My first 3d printed part. Drawn in Fusion 360 as a replacement for the stock "exhaust" (or actually hole in the model...) I had glued the fuselage halves together before I had the printer. If i were to do it a next time i would remove the exhaust from the fuselage halves, make the new one fit in there, and then glue the halves together. It will most likely not look 100% correct, but alot better than how it comes out of the box.28

March 16, 2021I then sanded, primed (ammo by mig grey one shot) and painted the first base coats (Hataka Red line Field green). When i got to the second color, Hataka Red line Dark greenthings went south. The color sprayed fine on my test piece but when i took it to the model it started gunking up and and sputtering. Being the noob i am i didnt catch it soon enough and it started to ruin the paintjob. I decided to swap to some Ammo by mig nato green, but that tint isnt alot darker than the base green. Then i used ammo by mig black instead of the Hataka redline dark grey for the last color. I finished it off with 3 layers of ammo by mig gloss varnish. This was also the first time i did decals. I used Tamiya mark soft strong. Either i did something wrong or all the youtube tuts i watched are just weird. I used a tiny bit of marksoft and it burns away all the clear layers. Also, the decals did not really want to form to the details nomather what i tried (mark soft before i place the decal, after i place the decal, etc). softly rubbing with a qtip just wrinkels the clear and wipes it off, using a soft brush kind of helped but it still silvered alot. I finished it off with another 2 gloss clear coats followed by 3 satin clear coats. Now I just have to do the rotors.43
