Very nice dirt application.  I'm always afraid to add dirt to a plane.

Thank you Gaz, in fact that is the advantage of adding layers of a very diluted mix of colors such as XF-57/59/60, clear sand colors that help to give such appearance. The diluted mix allow modulation and by building up progressively the desired tone is a low risk application.

Maurice,

   I use the same basic method of color and weathering modulation, as it's so much easier to apply in light layers, then try to remove or back track to a previous layer.

Maurice,

  The build is perfect. But your painting and weathering is in the class with Pascal and a few others that have mastered the art of making weathering for a dead on realist view. :wow:  :yahoo:

Thank you so much Joel, this is much appreciated. Glad that you enjoy the painting & weathering process. I already started another project in LSP WIP. A Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire in quite unusual desertic markings. Cheers :piliot:

Hi Kurok, thank you for the positive comments and glad you like it. Regarding Chris just google "static capital". Also with Brett Green they have published a series of books with tamiya. He explains a bit the process, he does not go much in detail, the blog is more a source of photography, but if you ask any question regarding how he did a certain effect of weathering he is very kind to explain in detail. I have asked him plenty of questions. 

Cheers  :piliot:
