Step 2.

The painting phases begin.

As anticipated at the beginning of the work, the mod will be painted entirely with the airbrush and weathering (a technique to achieve effects such as rust on the screws, gunpowder effect, etc.).

As you can see from the first photo of the F18 Hornet, the paint is inspired by the aeronautical camo of the American navy, and you can see the various weathering effects there.

The technique used is "Marble" on a black background and with two shades of gray, Sky Gray and Dark Sea Gray.

After having carried out the perfect preparation of the surfaces with all that goes with it, with this technique you must balance the final color with various passages and fill every single space created with the Marble by blending the two shades of gray being very careful not to make mistakes with excesses of color, etc., on pain of having to do all the work again.

In the end 2 hands of super opaque transparent Alclad 2.

In particular, it is worth noting the finishing of the handmade engravings that was performed with specific oil colors for professional modeling.

The end result is exactly what I wanted.

Later we will enter into the heart of the painting with other very interesting details.

Stay tuned.

I always enjoy your paint work.
(I still want to see you do a polished clear plexi rig, though.)

Welcome back guys.

End of works.

And here we are at the end of the works.

Here is the final video in 4 K , the complete photobook in Hi Res and the technical datasheet of this extreme mod.

What to say, a very demanding adventure given the great importance of this competition and the very high level of the contenders.
Even from a strictly technical / practical point of view as regards the realization of this extremely complicated and difficult mod in all its many details, it has been very very demanding.

Now the final verdict of the jury is expected.

A very special thank to Thermaltake Technology Inc. and to all the sponsors of this great event for having supported me and given this great opportunity.

Special thanks to Francesco Morgantini (Kernan) for the realization of the extraordinary final video and for the equally extraordinary photos that he performed.
