SV-51 Hasegawa 1/72

[Hervé]

Hello,

few pics of my present work : the SV-51 from Hasegawa.

Very little changes, The main goal is to apply a special paint, inspired by those views (I will keep the anti-UN markings). The kit is now ready for the paint :

Hello,

I will paint, using (a lot of) Tamiya tape :

Actually, the SV-51 has received several layers of light grey, in order to mask the awful pink...

See you soon for new pics.

Hello,

new pics, showing the different steps of paint :

And the quite impressive quantity of removed tape :

Next steps : little correction with a brush, before a coat of klir (future), in order to protect the upper surfaces from the necessary masks for the last step of painting.

Thanks for reading.

Loving that colour scheme. I have no idea how you kept it aligned straight, but it's very cool. And the quantities of tape are definitely impressive!

I think the tape cost more than the paint Really nice scheme and excellent painting! - MT

Super on se retrouve Ici c'est cool ça. J'éspére que je prendra pas mal si je me sers de ce digital camo sur mon 51 aussi?

Dans tous les cas content de d'avoir retrouvé.

For no french people, I just tols him that I was very happy to see him in this forum, and that I'm crazy about this digital CAMO.

Yeah me too I am digging the scheme as well. Is a bit dark in my opinion but not bad at all...

Kudos man

Maybe ! But My badger and I are not very sharp, so I prefer "over tape" in order to not nullify my job !

No problem, you are free to try it !

Just for information what did you do for the under side

Thanks everybody, and see u soon for new pics.
