What paint and color was used for the green? It looks excellent!

GUILLAUME C
Hi, I use XF61 as recommended in the kit. Dilution near 40/30 (X22A/paint).

it's not the most beautiful presentation of the osprey but it saves space in my showcase 😄

Nicolas
Great result. 👍
I like the presentation.

CaptGPF
One word - perfect!

gorby
WOW, remarkable work!
I didn't know the Osprey folded up like that.

Robert Podkoński
Great job indeed!

Roland Sachsenhofer
Looks like the installation of a new boiler... but is the very first shell of the 'Trevithick', the first steam locomotive....
The vintage kit doesn't appear to be bad and quite well thought out, only the plastic material in an unhealthy-soapy looking green plastic made me a little uneasy. But it will be fine! 🙂
I'm really looking forward to the next steps - a highly interesting and refreshingly different topic!

gorby
Looking forward to see what you can do with this oldie.

Alex K
👀

Roland Sachsenhofer
Appreciated, Gorby und Alex!

Roland Sachsenhofer
The main assemblies have now been completed. Care must be taken here to clean up the numerous ejection marks and the many moulding protrusions, but that's the only thing holding it up 🙂
The colours on the parts shown are, apart from the primer with black acrylic paint, Alclad II metal paints, namely Gunmetall, Steel... and above all Alclad ''Panzer Grey''. Traces of various shades of pastel crayon brown have been applied on top with a dry brush.

Juergen Klinglhuber
Sehr cooles Projekt - ganz nach meinem Geschmack. I'm curious about the outcome.

Roland Sachsenhofer
Das freut mich- very appreciated!

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here, of course! (I have built another incarnation of this kit...)

Robert Podkoński
Beautiful model! Congrats!

Dave Flitton
How was the build? Any trouble with the fit?

DuperScale
It was fairly easy to build. The plastic is pretty soft but a perfect model for beginners.

Dave Flitton
Excellent. Thanks,

Łukasz Gliński
Interesting, will follow

Alexander Grivonev
That is some rad green, I like it, great paintjob 👍

Mr James
Bloody good weathering

Jan Peters
That's a very nice looking Shchuka.
I have one in my stash, hope it will turn out half as good as yours, and I would be very happy 🙂

DuperScale
Thank's mates, i'm happy you like it.

Neuling
Very appealing paintwork and weathering!

Doubtingmango
I always look at the submarine kits as pretty simple without a lot of features, but then I see a build like this where the painting and weathering just bring it alive. Fantastic!

Jörg Schäfer
A very nicely built model with great aging. 👍

Snake Plissken
Wow, chrome plated!

Ben M
Taking it on vacation with me to get it started.

Nathan Dempsey
Bearcats unite! Following 👀

Guy Rump
Following. 👍

Snake Plissken
Is it similar to a commemorative edition or just meant to replicate natural metal finish?

Ben M
It's aluminum plated to represent the actual nmf finish. I built a t-33 where I had some issues that I hope to improve upon.

Ben M
Did a lot of sanding areas that will be glued, masking, fitting parts to each other, and basic assembly while I'm on vacation. I got new decals from Siam decals as the originals are from 1968 and not in good shape. I'm not sure how old the Siam decals are but they are newer than '68. One thing that is apparent is the stripey tail decal doesn't fit at all. This is going to be a good challenge to resolve.

Robert Podkoński
Taking a seat here.

Ben M
Decided to try to apply the 1960s decal for the cockpit, as I don't have an alternative. Had to soak it for about a minute in hot water to get it to release. As is typical for hawk kits the decal isn't the right size but you go to war with the decals you have. I got it to apply without shattering. Unsure if it will stick, very old decals like this often have to be glued in place.

Neil
Interesting 🤔 following also, looking good 👍

Ben M
I think the Siam Scale decals I'm using instead of the originals are about 20 years old but they're going on ok. A little thick, so not settling down into panel lines but I'll try some decal fluid once they set in place, hopefully they will on the aluminum surface! The roundels are two part so I will have to do a second layer…

Mr D
Smart little model.... unusual in the factory chrome 👍👍
Nice classic kit.
Bit of heat of hairdryer works with thick decals.... nice n steady.
Like it 😁👍

Ben M
That's a good idea, I may give it a try. First I'm going to upgrade from micro sol to mark fit.

Mr D
I use Mark fit ....but recently found the Vallejo one works amazing... Just used it on my in progress IAR-80.
Definitely my go to now.
The moon ships is great 👍👍

Nathan Dempsey
Wow Ben this one is turning into a colorful bird.

Ben M
An interesting detail I note while decaling. The panel lines on the fuselage are engraved. The panel lines on the wings are raised. Wtf.

Desert Marlin
I've been using Mr. Mark Softener and Mr. Mark Setter. They worked well on some Kitty Hawk decals which are pretty stubborn...

gorby
Nice work so far.

Ben M
The tamiya mark fit and some work with a needle solved the problems! Thanks for all the great ideas everyone. Onwards!

Ben M
Did a bunch of cut the decals into pieces to fit a different model than they were made for. Came out fairly well. Subassemblies are getting larger as the project comes together.

Dave
Looks great. Nice work

Desert Marlin
You seem to have forced the decals to cooperate!

Robert Podkoński
Great job, Ben!
