Title: Bell X-1 "glamorous Glennis" 1/32 Revell/Monogram
Post by: Artoor_K on March 29, 2020, 06:49:14 AM: Bell X-1 Revell/Monogram 1/32 , real one this time :)
I think this one is older than me :)
Painted with Tamiya and Mr. Hobby paints. Weathering is done with AMMO MIG and AK INTERACTIVE.
Base is made with AK Crackle Effects.
I've modified hatch lid, rescriber raised panel lines, added a few wires behind the instrument panel and basically that's all. Hope you'll like it :)

Thanks. No , AK Crackle Effect is a ready to use mixture, looks like thick paint, Vallejo-like. I've put a layer of it on a plaster painted Tamiya Buff after drying. The mixture is cracking while drying. Then I painted it using very, very light gray, then lighted it with white and finally drybrushed it with Vallejo white

I thought it's too satin. Glad I've nailed it :)

I've read some more about breaking sound barrier and found info about that broomstick. Definitely it should be done. Thanks for your comment :)
