Hasagawa Hellcat. These three color schemes are just down right painful. Finally done!

Well i for one like it. No denying three-tone schemes are tougher than they look. Considering its the first attempt, your first attempt looks better than my first attempt. I'm still trying to generate one i'm happy with. I'm getting better at it but its definitely an iterative process. d-bot |

Looks great, I echo the sentiment on the three tone. I have trouble with the Intermediate Blue, if its not right the scheme just looks wrong but i think you nailed it!

Yes, the intermediate blue is one of the wild cards. If you use MM Intermediate blue straight from the bottle it looks OK until the clear coats go on. Then it looks too dark. I shot the Intermediate blue on my Corsair yesterday, and i added a fair amount of Flat white to the paint. Today i'm gonna attempt to get some of the dark blue on. d-bot |
