1/35 SA-2 Guideline Missile & Launcher: WIP#2: Base paint scheme

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This WIP will be categorized under: 1/35 Trumpeter SA-2 Guideline Missile

The completed gallery will be featured in my site: Kumanworks.com

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I amended my WIP#1 a lil bit for the base color, it was Dark Green at where i'll be covering most of it with the desert color later on in preparation chipping later on.

This is going to be just a small WIP as i only manage to spray the base paint and also the first coat of Dark Yellow in preparation for the desert scheme later.

It will cover the hairspray layer, where it will be removed later during the chipping process.

That is it for now..:o)

To keep the momentum and modelling "mojo" going i started with my next "new" project..
the 1/35 Trumpeter SA-2 Guideline Missile on Launcher.
** i put "new" because i still have a few pending kit in various stages **

This will be a "warm-up" kit before i start (hopefully in this lifetime) my SA-2 Guideline Missile on Trailer.

A problem free build and i completed the general assembly in record time of 2 days!!
i wish that all the kit is this easy, but again it have a small count of sprue trees.. :0)

I proceed with Mr Surface 1000 treatment, and then with pre-shade with black on the raised lines on the model. Missile included

Then i sprayed a layer of Hairspray out from the can in preparation of the Hairspray techniques for chipping that will come next after the base paint Dark Green  (Dark Yellow + Desert Yellow)   (i amend this; as actually the base paint will be Dark Green, in preparation for the Dark Yellow + Desert Yellow scheme, sorry guys) i'm going to do this in the desert scheme from a reference i found on the internet from a modeler.

That should be it for now..

NEXT: Base color paint for launcher & missile.

1/48 Academy F-15E - WIP #3: Decals, wash & loadout

Continue from where i left off the other day.

This build will be placed under: 1/48 Academy F-15e label

and also will be in my site: Kumanworks.com when its done :o)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Decal progress moving nicely..
the model is basically done.

Anyway i'll share the WIP some photos to show the progress..

Decals went on nicely and with no big problems.
Then i proceed with 2-3 layers of Future coating before the wash steps.

while

after

For Panel lines i use tamiya product, Panel Lines Accent - Black.. and clean it using Zippo Oil.

As i liked my plane clean so the wash-step is very minimal.

Some photos of the loadout i'll be using, although i doubt that i'll hang all under the belly but some will be.
I've planned to have the F-15 as a show piece, so i'll try yo put everything that i can on the hardpoint.

Preview of the next steps, putting it all together...
the end is near guys....
