Hi again fellow modellers
Thanks for watching and commenting as I try building this!
I've managed to get a few layers of paint on the T-A-26 and began weathering a bit.
I should start from the start...I primed with Tamiya XF-19 light grey, then black in places I planned on a metal finishing, then Alclad "airframe aluminum" and then Vallejo chipping medium then finally painting masking painting masking and painting...I painted the model in sections to try to avoid the sandy paint in the wing root areas. The wings are a decent fit so it should build up ok. I had a spot of paint peel on an engine but fixed it with a quick blast of brown.
I used a lot of Tamiya tape on this kit! (my reference above to all the masking) As well, I could find no references as to what Tamiya colours to use for SEA scheme but did find a loose reference to some colours, which I took with (a few) grains of salt. After painting and de-masking I began scrubbed off paint in strategic locations. next stage will be attaching the wings etc, then gloss varnish for decals.
