i'm curious what technique did you use to dirty those Zacto missiles. i know you mentioned Flory's washes but which one? how did you apply it?. i ordered some of Phil's stuff (dark wash, Thanks Phil for fixing up my order that quick )
i'm used to work with Mig washes ( very very dirty stuff!!)
also, how did you paint the red "tip"? when i built my non-large-scale F-16, i had to paint some missiles with a black tip. Not sure about the accuracy of those, i mostly build stuff OOB for pure unadulterated fun. (tl;dr i'm not a rivet counter )
anyway i used tamiya's 6mm masking tape and, well...the round is not that round and even tho i burnished the tape as much as i could, there was still some seepage(<= not sure that's even a word!) under the tape making touchups very difficult.
btw, those missiles are effin' AWESOME!!!
