Title: Mig 3 ICM 1/48 Post by: Athos on May 10, 2013, 09:36:44 AM Hello all,
thanks for welcoming me on the forum. I'd like to share with you my last production, the ICM Mig 3 in winter camo. Hope you'd like it...

I love it. :D The white paint gives a good reference and it looks indeed painted on like the real aircraft. Is this done with the hairspraytechnique? Title: Re: Mig 3 ICM 1/48 Post by: jonbius on May 10, 2013, 11:36:55 AM Very nice work! The paint looks great and the setting is wonderful.
Title: Re: Mig 3 ICM 1/48 Post by: Athos on May 10, 2013, 02:43:53 PM Hello everyone and thanks to you, Jonbius & B-realistic,
here are some explanations about how I did it: first a coat of Tamiya grey primer then a layer of Rubn'buff on the metallic parts: (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/873390DSC864201.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=873390DSC864201.jpg) (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/882613DSC864801.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=882613DSC864801.jpg) When the rub is dry, I give a spray of the AMT colors on the under & uppersurfaces. Usually I used Akan paints but this time I tried my own Tamiya mixes. (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/918221DSC865301.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=918221DSC865301.jpg) (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/849062DSC865501.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=849062DSC865501.jpg) Then I scratch the surfaces where it is supposed to be used (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/658379DSC866001.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=658379DSC866001.jpg) (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/496875DSC866201.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=496875DSC866201.jpg) the undersufaces get some weathering. A coat of "KLIR" or varnish will protect the whole. (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/369426DSC867901.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=369426DSC867901.jpg) Then the uppersurfaces receive a very thin coat of Tam flat white which is softly and delicately sanded (at the strategic places)with 600 sand paper (http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/961116DSC870401.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=961116DSC870401.jpg) (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/144315DSC871201.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=144315DSC871201.jpg) the red stars are painted (Montex masks) and a final weathering is made: (http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/921976DSC871301.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=921976DSC871301.jpg) (http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/354258DSC871601.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=354258DSC871601.jpg) (http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/784411DSC876901.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=784411DSC876901.jpg) (http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/139530DSC875601.jpg) (http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=139530DSC875601.jpg) Title: Re: Mig 3 ICM 1/48 Post by: B_Realistic on May 10, 2013, 02:49:47 PM Thanks for the explanation.
I've got something similar as Rub 'n Buff. I'm going to use that on my Mig-19PM I'm working on. I think that it's more realistic finish then Alclad II. Title: Re: Mig 3 ICM 1/48 Post by: Massimo Tessitori on May 10, 2013, 03:38:04 PM Hi Athos,
interesting model indeed. The choice to show and improve the internal details gives much value to the model. Regards Massimo Title: Re: Mig 3 ICM 1/48 Post by: learstang on May 10, 2013, 05:45:23 PM Brilliant MiG-3, Athos! One of the reason I like VVS (and Axis Eastern Front) aircraft is I've always loved the winter finishes.
