Very Nice Ian! It's always a pleasure to see your paintwork!

Bloody nice as always!

Man the quality of this build means I am going to have to pull out all the stops when I build mine!

Cor! I like that Ian

I've been meaning to ask, how does Humbrol and Xtracolor mix? Can you do it with all their different colours?

Like they were made for each other...... Think Gin 'n Tonic, Whisky 'n Dry, Pimms 'n Lemonade, Rum 'n Coke and you're on the right track. NO you can't drink the paint..... that would be BAD

Well, I suppose it's okay: if you're into that whole "modelling to perfection" sort of thing...

Not fit to carry your sprues, Sir...

Couple of self explanatory photos - check-out the kill markings then have a CLOSE look at Richards original profile !. Next I'm going to try for the first time Phil Flory's ProModeller Clay Weathering Wash..... stay tooned !

Here's a quick shot of the wash 'sloshed' on and dried on the Port wing, the Starboard wing has already been wiped clear. Not too sure about this new process, I'll wait till it's all done before comitting.

And all the panels done....

Next adding the wheels & gear doors then matting the thing down. Thanks for looking.

Looking good. The wash really brings out the panel lines and makes it look well used.
