I started with Tamilya grey primer
then gave it a good solid dark grey undercoat
Then using Dark sea Grey I sprayed the panels being careful to leave the hint of shading in the panel lines and deep crevaces
The Interior Green in tamilya cockpit green and weathered by painting paint chips and weathing power on the back ramp.




Cockpit


Cargo bay interior




I still have a ton more work to do on this namely the engines and paint chip weathering
I also plan to give this badboy the shark teeth on the front canopy]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/706879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/706879.page GMT Merican Valkryie

I've almost finished painting everything that I ever bought. I vowed I wouldn't buy any new stuff untill I'd finished the stuff I had. Only 8 gargoyle conversions , 16 gaunts , and an old armor cast malefactor and I'm Almost done. Then its new IG , boo ya!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707403.page GMT Re:Merican Valkryie

Ahhhh I remember this! It's off the lander in Aliens isn't it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707404.page GMT Merican Valkryie http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707434.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707434.page GMT Re:Merican Valkryie By mistake I left the clear canopies in the box when I primed the Valk resulting in overspray ruining the clear canopy.
I tried using thinner to remove the paint which wasn't working the I decided to scrape the paint off.
It worked but the canopy became cloudy and looked like crap.
So to salvage it I dipped both canopies in Tamilya Clear blue paint the blue works with the grey but as an afterthought I should of used Smoke to give it a black tint instead.
I plan on pinning the canopies in place so I can still see my well painted cockpit.

That eagle is great and does count as a pin-up but I am going WW2 old school semi-nekid babes on this one.
Maybe a SoB in a thong]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707471.page GMT Merican Valkryie http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707479.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707479.page GMT Merican Valkryie I got to do squadron markings,paint chips,weathering,the Engines
Make 2 custon twin lascannon pods for the wings so this will double for a vendetta,I have twin lascannons on the nose right now and put the targeters near the bottom of the cargo bay underneath and behind the cockpit]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707485.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/239398/707485.page GMT Re:Merican Valkryie
