Default RE: Finishing sets for scale models

After painting insignia on fuselage and wing look like this...











As I told earlier, for paint masc was used special Oramasc foil, which is made for that propose. This foil is little gummy and it can apply on every surface. Edges are sharp, and because it is made for painting, stripping foil is easy without any glue left on surface...

Same paint masc I used for all letters on model...







...and for line on fuselage...





After painting...



















When all colors was painted I made weathering. OK, this is not something what I can offer like some set, but it take model on next level...
On P-47 I used pastel colors for this process. Most important is to after all colors you add on model in this last step, if made some mistake, it can fix without any problem. Pastel color is easy to take off...

I use tree tone of pastel: black and two brown tone...



Pastels are soft ant it is easy to sand it...



...than use cloth and apply it on model surface...







In model this size must be done part by part. But at the end result are great.
Finally, last step was painting clear cote...






















Same procedure was made on my Ziroli F6F Hellcat. On yellow paint result are maybe even better...






















Mirce Finish Set can be used not just for Thunderbolt or Hellcat, but for any bigger model.
I can made bigger and smaller rivets, depends of model size.


Detail Set I have now for 100" Thunderbolt ( 1/5 scale - Meister Scale )
I offer Detail Set for Top Flite P-47 ( 1/6 scale ) too...

I have same set for Ziroli F6F Hellcat and F9F Panther.


Same like Mirce Finish Set I can made Paint masc for stars and bars for many models in different size.
