[MonsieurTox]

Hello here some pics of my Red 3 (Mike Salzo kit) :

Im still painting the fuselage, I hope Ill get it done soon !

Are you doing the currently-popular large scale model that was on the MoM tour?

If so you need to modify the nose cone a bit. Nice work, by the way.

 

[MonsieurTox]

Yes I take the 4ft one as ref for painting, but only for painting Too much work to convert it since the general shapes are very different .

Tox. You're a genius, that just looks...I have no words to describe it. That does it I'm going to redo Kurt's now.

 

[MonsieurTox]

Lol Rich, Im copying yours . Your Red 3 is great and I dont know what you could re-do :confused

 

[CessnaDriver]

Looks great.
May I ask what color/brand paints your using??

 

[12Rogues]

Wow that is just amazing. I've seen alot of these build ups here and on other boards, and they just keep getting better and better.

You really set the bar higher on this one. Keep us posted.

Hey guys thanks

I used only Tamiya paints.

You can see the colors here :

I primed it with tamiya primer then put an undercoat of flat black

I put a coat of flat white and next I started to do the panelling job...

I used yellow, white, blac, blue, buff colors and mixed them to get various tones.

Bro your build up is looking stunning, with yours and Richards bird, you both have raised the bar, you should both be candidates for the MR bird IMO.

Julien is a MASTER of the highest degree in my humble opinion. His painting is amazing and his scratch building is among the best I have ever seen.

 

[MonsieurTox]

Thanks vaderdarth and Kurt But there are so many beautiful works here ..

Some new pics :

I painted the red marks, now we can say it's Red 3 .

The wings are temporarily fixed to the wing blocks (with screws) and the wing block to the fuselage with rubber band. I dont when I build the motorized wing system.

 

[vaderdarth]

Man that is sure a pretty sight... Well done. I'm dying to see it finished.
