Here is a build for a collector of a 1/144 Daco B-737-500. She will have current Continental livery.
Thanks,

Brad Shinn

you know what my comments will be brad! shall i elaborate any more? =)

Bill-ay · 03-24-2007, 01:27 PM

Brad, do you polish your models after sanding, if so, do you use Bare-Metal Polish?

Thanks kaitanium and I hope you have read about your Eva colors on airlinercafe.

Hi Billy, no I don't polish before any painting. Just use 1000grit on all seams and on any putty gaps. I sometimes will use bare metal polish (SNJ) on silver.

Regards,
Brad

As I think I have mentioned before Brad, you are a modelling machine! Do I notice some styrene work on the immediate engine afterbody? Hard to imagine Danny's masterpieces in need of a tweak!

Mike777 · 03-24-2007, 04:10 PM

Oh yeaaah!! Nice one! Lucky collector..

Brad · 03-24-2007, 06:53 PM

Thanks V1UHOH!! Yea, I added some styrene for the reverser sleaves too. All the manufactures forget about them....Hmmm. Still the Daco kit is a very sweet kit.

Thanks, Brad! Excellent work and I love the "weathered" details on the wings! Keep it up!

Bill-ay · 03-27-2007, 06:28 PM

Looks Great! Do you tape off the fusalage when you painted the wings? Is that an enamel grey on the wings?

Brad · 03-27-2007, 08:21 PM

Thank You D-AIHC very much!
Thank Bill-ay, The wings are just a dry fit to the fuselage. I used Tamiya light grey acrylic spray.

Here is a link to photos of the B737-500 wip.

How do you get the weathered look, stand back and lightly airbrush it?

Bill-ay · 03-30-2007, 09:02 PM

do you put Washes on it?

B-16707 · 03-30-2007, 09:04 PM

ah ha! you broke the wings in half too! i was reluctant to do it to my md90 but did it anyways.

Brad · 03-30-2007, 10:33 PM

Hi Bill-ay,

I use a little of everything for weathering the aircraft. Wash.oils,pencil.pastels.
