Interior Painting
Transcript*
Intro
Hello all. This is David from Sunward Hobbies and welcome to part three of my Meng Fokker DR1 build. Uh in the last part we had primed and pre-shaded all the interior parts. Now we are going to start painting and varnishing. Oh, where are my manners? Come in.
Recap of Last Video
If you remember from part two, we had primed everything with Alclad’s black primer and micro filler. Then for pre-shading on all these parts here, I used Ammo’s Atom Light Grey. And we pretty much left it at that.
What David is Working on Next (Interior Painting)
So, for today’s video, I’m basically going to be painting all the interior parts and then uh picking out a few details with a paintbrush and then uh varnishing the whole thing. And uh we’ll end it at that. So for wood parts like the cockpit floor, uh the propeller and this little triangle shape on the insides of the fuselage I will be painting with Vallejo Model Air Sand Yellow or RLM 79. uh parts like the cockpit uh bulkhead and the inside of the fuselage.
Since they are of fabric, I’ll be painting them in Ammo Atoms Wood. I know it’s says wood, but to me it looks more like linen. And then for the tubular framing in the cockpit sidewalls here, I will be using Atom’s Grau RLM 02. And for the uh metal parts such as the rotary engine, the engine firewall as well as the ammunition boxes. I will be using AK Xtreme Metals Aluminum. Now, since you’ve already seen how I airbrush in the previous video, I’m just going to skip ahead of that to save time, and I will be back very shortly. Right.
Completed Airbrushed Parts
So, now everything is pretty much airbrushed. Now all that that remains is to uh paint some minor details with a brush.
Painting Guns
Starting with the guns. Now the way I like to paint guns most of the time is uh I leave it primed black. Like I didn’t touch these at all when I was airbrushing earlier. And to give it that gunmetal sheen, I’m going to use a Vallejo pigment, the Dark Steel, and simply just brush some of that on. So you can sort of catch it in the lighting, but now it has that metal sheen to it. And that’s just a very simple way to paint guns.
Painting Framework
Next, I will be painting this framework here with RLM 02. Uh afterwards, once this has had a little time to dry, I’m going to paint these little lines on the frame in white. That is the stitching that uh fastens the uh fabric to the frame.
How to Paint a Wooden Laminated Propeller
Now, this next part is going to be cool. I’m going to show you how to paint a wooden laminated propeller. So, the uh first layer has already been painted. What you’re going to need is a pencil. uh can be a normal pencil or a lead one. And you’re going to want to draw the lines for the dark layers of wood. Now, I’m only going to do two. So, you can barely see it, but uh it is there. So, now that you’ve got your rough outline, I’m going to take some Ammo Ionic Burnt Umber and simply fill in the lines. And that’s all there is to that.
Clear Coat
So, now that everything is painted, I’m going to take my airbrush and give everything a quick light coat of Alclad Aqua Gloss. And then that’ll wrap it up for today’s video.
David’s Conclusion
In conclusion, we’re just about halfway done. Stay tuned for part four where I will apply a panel wash, a varnish coat, and a full assembly of the interior. So, thank you very much for watching this video. Remember to like, comment, subscribe, follow us on our socials, and until the next one, adios.
