I struggled with the streaking on my DeAgo Falcon. To be honest I failed miserably. Hoping to perfect the technique before I tackle the perfect grade. I'll definitely be asking for tips when you've finished experimenting

Ive been messing eith the rolled tape technique which works OK i guess but its a pain to set up.
Then theres using the rolled tape under a masking card to keep the card above the surface to give the streaks soft edges.
Hunk of Junk is using a cut out stencilled styrene sheet held above the surface which works well also.
Im just trying everything to see which one works best.

I think I solved it. That second picture (the more black and white one) is looks like someone cut and pasted a clip from a photo of the upper hull disc over the open mount hole on the lower disc. If you compare it to a photo of the top disc, the weathering is identical. So I think Bandai is right. There should be two red panels on the lower disc.

Good work. I was on the fence about that.

I've got three crappy ebay airbrushes and good one still in the box. I've learned how to strip down, clean and re-assemble the junkie ones by muscle memory. Suggest periodically taking your brush apart and cleaning it out with lacquer thinner even when it's working as the paint will accumulate and clog the brush. At that point, it's a lot more toil and trouble.

Thanks, good advice.
In have Paasche Talon which requires a lot of cleaning. Must have taken that thing apart 300 times.
I was actually wondering if there was a specific cleaning methid jut for the Iwata Eclipse.

I'm glad to see you're starting on the bottom hull since I'm working on the top and can use your work as a roadmap for when I get that far.

Really nice work on the rectenna
Could you please explain the painting - weathering technique/s used to achieve the results that you have for the rear damage in #1 pic above ?
:cheersGed
You talking about the long blaster mark on the rear?

Basically just freehand airbrushed along the line of the damage. Then used the edge of a card as a stencil to make the sharp points coming out blast marks.
Black grey paint.

Yeah, using a Windsor and Newton series 7 brush.
Holds a point like no other brush.

Oh sorry,
The damage on the antenna was done with brush by hand.
First brushed Insignia white in the shape of the damage, then filled on the white with Sea Grey.
Leave a bit of the white surrounding the grey.
I use a windsor and newton series 7 brush-
