Begin by taking the tin foil, and wrapping
it around the piece you want to cover - in this case the burner can from
the Revell 1/48 F-15E Strike Eagle.
Carefully cut round the tin foil to the
correct depth along the burner can.
|
|
| Then mix up some water
with the PVA glue (to about the consistency of milk) into the container,
and apply to the tissue. Then place the tissue onto the foil cover, and
cut around the edges, using the glue to cover the edges and sides (and not
forgetting to leave a little extra to tuck back inside the edge of the
cover to give it a complete covering). |
|
| Leave the covers to dry for afew
hours, and then coat using your normal modelling paints. When that's dry,
use other colours to drybrush the covers and highlight the detail, and
adding a realistic appearance to the them. |
|
| To create the other Covers for
the intakes - the same process was used, cutting the foil to shape and
covering it in wet tissue. The tags were made using the method here in the
tool n' tips section of this site, and placed through a small pinhle made
into the exhaust cover, or in the case of the intake cover - just stuck on
using glue. |

The covers are a nice little touch which
really finish off models of static aircraft on the flightline.
