Sorry folks - I know we got firesprays all over this subforum - but I just fell in love with Kath. So I simply had to start this thread ! Come and share your own Kath Scarlet-Repaints here!

I was never a big fan of Kath's candy box firespray and her imperial pilot ability. But then came Scum and she finally grew on me. After buying a fresh model at my local FLGS and putting on that fashionable "Kath Scarlet"-Look, I got to admit that this is about the sexiest ship I can bring to a X-Wing table.

Some info on the actual repaint:

FRONT

- Base color is a mix of Marabu white and light grey (acrylic) applied using a Revell Standard airbrush (the only use of airbrush in this project)

- Then some Revell flat white (enamel) was added using drybrushing technique for some highlighting

- The red areas were done with Revell gloss red (enamel)

- To prep for the wash, a glossy Revell clear coat (acrylic) was applied

- Then an oil wash based on black Schmincke oil color was applied.

- After the wash, a clear coat using Revell flat clear color (enamel) was added

BACKSIDE

- Base color is Gunze Sangyo German grey (acrylic) with several layers of Revell grey and white (enamel) done via drybrushing.

- The engine glow was done using mixtures of Marabu blue and white (acrylic) colors.

Challenges on this project: The firespray model features some very deep and wide panel lines. So doing the standard oil wash resulted in far too prominent panel lines - looking quite unrealistic. I had to do a lot of cleaning up to fix this...

As a side note, I did not do rust or battle damage as I am tempted to believe that Kath will always have her Binayre Pirates fix that back in the base to keep her firespray in a clean condition...remember, she is a girl!
