hey guys I finished up the harrier today, Hasegawa kit 1.48 , paint is craft acrylics
Wow, fantastic detailing. I love the way you blend the colors in just like an artists does, seamless.

Stellar build! What craft paints did you use?
Sweet!!! I’m building this kit for the Marine Corps GB. Just getting ready to start paint.

thanks guys, I used these 4 colors to mix everything
I’m a craft store acrylic fan as well. That finish is gorgeous. That’s top shelf work there. O.O
Did you prime the kit first; I’ve had trouble with adhesion from those paints.
No primer, I only “spot” prime where I use the bondo. I find these paint stick awesome, just need to get the thinner ratio right. Each color is different and I use a hairdryer after each coat and I can run the paint under a tap and its very hard to remove when cured. I tried the Vallejo air one time in the past and it peeled off like a layer of rubber !
Also I seal them on with duplicolor acrylic lacquer and finish with Grumbacher matte varnish
That is pretty outstanding work !
beautiful work
Dude! That is insane! Craft acrylic?? My mind is blown. That’s some kung fu ninja skill right there. Sorry if I missed it, but what did you use to thin? Washer fluid maybe?
Thanks!
Yeah for my thinner I use 50/50 washer fluid/water with a few drops of glycerin, how much you thin the actual paint itself is just trial and error
