Hello!
I am fini****ng my 1/12th scale P-51D (37-inch wingspan, about 20-oz flying
weight) and need some advise on realistic covering and panel lines. I want
my airplane to look more detailed and realistic than some ARFs.
I've considered the following options so far:
- LiteFab or ColorFab, and paint for the whole color scheme (too heavy?);
panel lines will be either drawn or made with thin tape, removed after
paint.
- Silver Ultracote and paint for color scheme (paint will eventually come
off and show silver covering below, maybe I can scuff the covering before
painting to prevent that). Its texture is somewhat unrealistic, though,
and
transitions from unpainted to painted covering will look weird.
- Silver Ultracote and additional Ultracote for color scheme (bubbles?).
Again, finish is too flat and panel lines will be drawn using a pen. Will
steel-wool scuffing improve its texture?
Thanks!
- Angel
