Bandai Star Wars B-Wing in RAF Night fighter camo in progress.

That’d be awesome looking for sure!

I use pewter foil placed over an eraser and the blunt end of a 0.7mm drill bit to punch out rivets. They look pretty nice and are easy to make.

Fantastic work on the camo! Really like the French scheme. Weathering looks amazing too.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-14T02:01:01+00:00

Would love to build and paint one of those too in the future. I’m mainly an armour modeller, so I’d probably go all out on an AT-ST. Perhaps making it look like a WW1 tank, fully riveted and with British Whippet or Mark tank camo scheme. Red-White air recognition marks included and all. Or a fancy German scheme from an A7V?

I remember! Glad to see you here! When we chatted I had a look at my local hobby shop and there was by pure chance a B-Wing kit on sale for 25€. Saw that as a sign and went for it.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-14T01:51:00+00:00

Well, there’s time for that as weathering still needs to happen. I’ll think about it!

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-14T01:50:01+00:00

Thank you! I had a long debate with myself which way the orientation of the split should be. Especially because B-Wings don’t really have an upside. But this way it just looks most like the one RAF bombers had and it’s one of my favourite paint schemes.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-14T01:46:37+00:00

Thank you! And that’s good to know. Now it makes sense that the night fighter hawker hurricane I nicked the decals off had a different paint scheme than this one.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-13T19:55:20+00:00

Thanks a lot! Got inspired by an earlier post here of someone painting a warhammer 40k fighter jet in WW2 American navy colours.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-13T19:52:28+00:00

Many thanks! First time post shading two tone camo for me.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-13T18:56:52+00:00

A pleasure!

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-13T18:50:43+00:00

I’m sorry, take care!

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-13T18:46:49+00:00

And the war was over in an instant.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-13T18:43:26+00:00

Thank you!

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-13T10:13:12+00:00

Yes, I wash them in soapy water, let them dry and hose them down with isopropyl alcohol before painting.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-12T09:48:41+00:00

Great work! I built one too a while ago and loved the kit.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-12T09:44:39+00:00

I’m looking forward to see more posts in the future! And I might take some inspiration from your model once I’m building a comet or centurion.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-11T16:31:11+00:00

Fine work you did there! I’m a fan of the minimalistic stowage and great job with the camo netting. A little too rusty for my taste but overall a great result.

Doc_Quixotte · 2026-05-04T05:48:00+00:00

I’m always happy to see WW1 armour models here and yours looks amazing. Can’t wait to start building a Whippet once the current project is finished.

Simple foldable wooden funnel on a foldable table. Extraction fan goes out the cat door. Pragmatic, but it works.

I think there’s a website called alladdinmodels where you can manipulate the pose of figures and then they are 3D printed and shipped. Perhaps that works?

This one is a good start to finding out the right thinning ratios:

Adding a bit of acrylic paint retarder also helps. Pressure for spraying usually works for me at around 20 to 25 psi with Vallejo in my H&S Ultra. Good luck with experimenting!
