Interesting story: When I was quite young, maybe 7 y/o, one of these Blackbirds flew so slowly over my house I had enough time to wonder "what's that noise??" look out of the window, see something, go outside into the street and look up to see this bird about another house's height above the street!!!!!!!!!
It came almost to a hover it moved that slow, the sound almost disappeared then the engines roared and it flew away out of sight in seconds!!
I'm 31 now so it's an experience I will not soon forget!
Jus thought I'd share - x
Luckily, this one didn't need many different colours, and I already had most of them from before.
I did buy a new spray can of glossy black and clear finish, but that was money well spent I think!
What are those red parts? Stickers, dry transfer decals or waterslides?
The red parts and the other small details and lettering are "waterslide decals", the kind that are common in most Revell kits (except in their "Snap" kits, those usually include "peel 'n' stick" sticker kind decals ;o)
Whenever I try something new, I always try it out on a test object first.
In this case, I had an old kit that had had some "accidents" over the years. Maybe you have an old kit too that you don't mind messing up, or maybe you can find a really cheap one that you could use for testing?
I didn't spray the whole test kit of course, just one wing. I painted it black just like the "Blackbird", and then first gave it one thin coat of clear finish, and when it was dry, I decided to give it another thin coat.
When that dried, it looked good, so I gave the "real" kit the same two thin coats too!
