Hi Kris.! I hope (and I know) that the best you can do! As usually. :-) I'll be watching you...

It is a well-made ​​model. Incredible weathering!

I thank you guys! You praise me too much. But I must admit that it's very nice.

Almost ready. Seatbelts from HGW Pastels, pigments and Tamiya weathering master ...and ready for Inspection!

About aircraft: 112 Squadron RAF. Gambut, Libya, North Africa. February 1942. Flown by Flying Officer Neville Duke. He was the top Allied flying ace in the Mediterranean Theatre, having shot down at least 27 enemy aircraft, and was acknowledged as one of the world's foremost test pilots after the war. In 1953, he became holder of the world air speed record (727.63 mph). Work in progress

I thank you so much for the good feedback. It is used for this sequence: 1. Paints 2. Mr. Color Gunze Gloss 3. Decals 4. Mr. Color Gunze Semi-gloss (and sometimes instead of Gunze I give the Polish equivalent of Future - Sidolux. It is less aggressive) 5. Oil Colors with White Spirit (W. Spirit is odourless Turpentine) 6. Mr. Color Gunze Matt 7. Oil colors again

Weathering:

Zinc-chromate The decals printed by Cartograf are excellent!

This is my way of masking the glass. Pre-shading Azure Blue Middle Stone and Dark Earth

Thank you! Kagemusha: No, it did not take too much time. I only needed to collect the resin, slightly ...

Work is in progress. Applied the putty. Layout proposed by the Hasegawa part is a little complicated, especially with glass. Now the model is ready for painting.

Ads: I'v got some pictures of this aircraft, but can't show here (I mean copyright). dodgem37: I use lighter fluid for oils (or white spirit). The fluid is better for me.

Cockpit assembly. Black for deep shadows. Mixing for searching Curtiss Bronze Green. Painting small parts and highlights Dry-brush with enamels ...and Hasegawa's perfect fit...

I thank you all. You are so kind. I'm just trying to doing my job, sir!

Excellent! I love this subtle weathering.
