This video explains my process in the building, painting and weathering of Kinetic Lockheed F-104G Starfighter in 1/48 scale. I start the video by building the scale model kit using Tamiya and AK Interactive glues and Mr Hobby tools. The key to building the Kinetic Lockheed F-104G Starfighter in 1/48 scale is to carefully read the instructions and assemble, using the tutorial as a guide. Take care in assembling the scale model kit so the the parts fit accurately and align as intended, this is the easiest way of speeding up the build.

To paint the Kinetic Lockheed F-104G Starfighter in 1/48 scale it is best to use an airbrush. This video is designed to cover the airbrush basics so that you can see the thinning of paint and application onto the scale model kit. Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline is used in this video along with Ak Interactive Real Colors, Tamiya Acrylics, Mr Hobby Lacquer and Alclad II Metal effect Lacquers. Thinning paint is very importan so I will explain how to do that using the correct thinners for each paint type.

Decals are applied with the aid of Tamiya Mark Fit Strong. This is a much more inetnse product than Micro Sol an Set solution and helps conform even the thickest decals onto the Kinetic Lockheed F-104G Starfighter in 1/48 scale model kit details.

The final part is the weathering using more AK Interactive weathering products as well as artists oil paints from Winsor & Newton and Abteilung 502, weathering washes from AMMO by Mig Jimenez and finally VMS Pigments. I start the weathering process using an enamel wash to bring out the panel lines on the scale model kit. Here I use oil washes from AMMO. To seal those in I use a clear acrylic coat from VMS Matte varnish. Further and more detailed weathering follows using artist oil paints which enable me to add streaks, grime and bleaching onto the model to give it a more aged, used and weathered effect. The VMS matte clearcoat varnish is airbrushed onto the Kinetic Lockheed F-104G Starfighter in 1/48 scale. This matte varnish will help the weathering process as the matte finish allows more oil paint to stain the model surface. Dust and mud weathering effects are created using VMS pigments to imitate the weathering on tyres and undercarriage/landing gear.

Final assembly of the Kinetic Lockheed F-104G Starfighter in 1/48 scale model kit is completed using VMS super glue. All of the final small parts and lights are added onto the model kit to complete the model build.
