Hi
scale modeling friends! This is my second contribution on ARC and I just want to
share my first painting two-tones camouflage experience. This is my Italian Air
Force F-104S built from Italeri kit, just a little hard to build but very nice
however.
This
work allowed me to win a first prize on a contest in 1/72 category for the first
time which was organized by the GHME or Grupo de Historia y Modelismo
Ecuatoriano (Ecuatorian Group of History and Scale Modeling).
The
story about this work is very nice since I only have two years using some
techniques on scale modeling, then I have been supported by my cousin who is an
experienced scale model builder. I learned by him that the research and patience
are the best allied for a builder because these ones help on repairing some
fails watching
the details and getting a better finish on the model, the goal for a model
builder.

The
kit was grey-primed, the belly features some metalizer shades according to pics
found on Internet. The top side was painted using Tamiya shades: Neutral Grey
and Drak Green 2. Some weathering was added using black pastel chalks.
I
hope u have enjoyed this experience.
Best
Regards from
Ecuador
and glory to Scale Modeling!

This
article was posted shortly after Carlos passed away and I'm sorry to say
it is the last article by Carlos. He will be fondly remembered by
friends on ARC and in
Ecuador
for his friendly nature.
