How To Paint Flames Of War Arado 234b

I have a tournament coming up at Guardian Games this weekend, and I'd hoped to get my Japanese army together for information technology, but I've been way too busy to stop painting it. So I'chiliad therefore going to revive my 510 Schwere Panzerabteilung army from a previous tournament. The only problem is the indicate values are different, so I had to do a trivial rejiggering of the list.

To that end I've added an Arado 234 (AC015). This was a astonishing lite bomber that saw combat in the waning months of the state of war. I'd picked 1 up ages ago, just it had been sitting on my shelf for but such an emergency!

I wanted to endeavor something a little different this time for the painting, so I went with the Ammo of MIG Blackness and White technique. This means I didn't need to highlight and panel shade every individual color - instead I did all of the shading ahead of fourth dimension and then used thinned colors for the topcoat. I've been using Testors masking tape to complete the hard-edged camouflage scheme.

The photo above shows the current condition. bit sadly lacks the contrast you need to actually get a strong sense of the shading at this point. I still demand to complete the final weathering equally well, but if all else fails (read if my schedule continues to go to Hades in a handbasket), information technology is "skillful enough" to get as is.

I'll post more photos once I've finished up this little animal. Information technology went together easily, though it needed some make clean up, and has painted well.
