Locitite 406 CA superglue is used in this process combined with CA superglue accelerator/activator to join the two dissimilar materials. Also used are details from Eduard Photoetch Brassin which are additional parts to the Kitty Hawk Sukhoi SU-22 Fitter K in 1/48 scale model kit scales box The second part shows the Kitty Hawk Sukhoi SU-22 Fitter K in 1/48 scale model kit surface preparation techniques such as filling panel gaps and seams with Deluxe Materials Perfect Plastic Putty modelling filler/putty and sanding them smooth to get a seamless join between parts using a range of sand papers from 800, 1200, 2000, and 3000p dpi grit papers. Also Black Basing techniques are included in this section using Mr Hobby “Mr Surfacer 1000, 1200 & 1500 Finishing Surfacer“ thinned with Mr Hobby Self Levelling Thinner 400 to prime the surface ready for painting, sprayed through an airbrush using Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline Solo Needle/Nozzle: with Badger 1100 with Anti-Pulsation Tank Working Pressure 22psi (). The third part of the video demonstrates the Kitty Hawk Sukhoi SU-22 Fitter K in 1/48 scale model kit using the BLACK-BASING technique to achieve a pre-weathered look and surface texture replicating that of an aged and worn aircraft. Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline is used with Badger 1100 with Anti-Pulsation Tank Working Pressure 22psi (). Also included in this section on the Tamiya Matilda in 1/35 scale model is the Engine Exhaust painting using Alclad 2 Lacquers (Airframe Aluminium, Aluminium, Steel, Jet Exhaust, Copper & Pale Burnt Metal) and Tamiya clear paints to create a burnt metal effect. 3 layers of Mr Color GX100 Superclear III thinned with Mr Hobby Self Levelling Thinner 400 seal the decals in. This can be decanted and sprayed through an airbrush such as the Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline Solo. Decals for the Kitty Hawk Sukhoi SU-22 Fitter K in 1/48 scale model kit follow painting with the aid of Tamiya Mark Fit Strong. These products allow the decal to form to the shapes of the Airfix Spitfire FR in 1/48 scale model kit panel lines and surface which you can see in the video. Next is the weathering of the Kitty Hawk Sukhoi SU-22 Fitter K in 1/48 scale model kit. This is started using Abteilung 502 & Winsor & Newton oil paints thinned with white spirit to a wash consistency. Then used as a panel line wash the oil is applied across the Kitty Hawk Sukhoi SU-22 Fitter K in 1/48 scale model kit to achieve a dirty, grimey & worn look. Further weathering including Unthinned Abteilung 502 Oil Paints to create streaking and water marks, along with AK Interactive weathering Pigments (Gun Metal, Russian Earth, Europe Earth, Medium Rust and Pigment Fixer, Worn Effects, Dark Streaking Grime Rainmark Effects) concludes weathering.
