Re: Splash's Frogs
Oh that sounds good! Why didn't I think of that? Is it an F20 you plan doing?

Re: Splash's Frogs
I looked at masking the sky before spraying the dark grey and thought this is just too fiddley so time to break out plan "B" .
My logic now is spray the Dark Grey over the sky then mask the Dark Grey and re-spray the sky, this will require much less masking that is easier to apply

Re: Splash's Frogs
My cunning plan worked masking the dark grey was simple and quick and the Tamiya Sky has excellent coverage.
The hornet is starting to look more like a Sea Hornet now.

Mellow colors on that Hornet.

Re: Splash's Frogs
Very nice, I really like that grey/sky FAA scheme. I have to say that the grey looks purple-ish to me as well, but then again my colour vision is about as trustworthy as the average politician's expenses claim

Re: Splash's Frogs
Your Frog kits are looking like a very interesting trio.
The Hornet looks like a very pretty little plane and it'll be great to see the finished product

You might be right I sprayed it at night and think I picked up the wrong greyChris wrote:the Dark gray looks like its light purple to me!
The weather has been so bad I have had little bench time but I should get some time this weekend to check the grey in good daylight.

Re: Splash's Frogs
EDSG does have a strong blue component - perhaps the 'redness' is a product of the lighting.

Re: Splash's Frogs
It looks grey on this monitor, I can't see a hint of purple. More like blue-grey.

Re: Splash's Frogs
Looks fine to me Splash. Could be the lighting mixed with camera settings.
