The finish line with fishing line, and all else that can break

Sounds like Australia or thereabout.

Ok, so applying these to the tail fin was not easy for someone with Parkinson. And the other small decals was a bit difficult too. The job is finished finally and no big disasters, except a few markings omitted and one or two being erroneous. (the tyre size markings got the wrong dimensions) I used a mix of decals from Revell, Trumpeter and Cutting Edge. I have a Hasegawa sheet too but I save that one for the K-4 variant I have half finished. Next step is to spray a protecting layer of varnish over the whole thing. Maybe two. Thanks for looking!

Not pleased with the surface finish i decided to just go on with applying decals. If there is no silvering all is good. Black crosses on aluminium looks really good, I think. I have played around with some washes already.

The novelty of building my favorite subjects eventually wore off once I got myself an Airbrush. Nowadays my main priority is to improve my skills. For that reason I am looking for your input on matters of subject, camo schemes, Techniques and materials, etc. I may also make a small base to put it on, so ideas for that are also welcome.

Very life like. For a moment there i forgot I was looking at a model.

I am not very happy with my paint job. The edges of the camo fields are to fuzzy, but that is because I did it free hand. That is how many do it so I wanted to try that. I figure I would have gotten better result with thinner paint, lower pressure and keep closer to the surface. It would also be nice with a backstop on the AB. Anyway here is where I am and the possible markings. White 4 has the advantage of a plain spinner. Since this is supposed to be an in - flight model that makes things a little easier. I have not decided yet. Ps. The mottling is inspired by Anders Hjortsbergs' profiles. I may tone them down a bit by Rlm76.

Did they really apply zimmerit behind the running gear?

Hm. Found no must have at first look, but maybe I should go back and give the list some more thought.

I intend to finish all my builds I have started threads about, and this one is currently active again. The build is an opportunity to test pre-shading so I may be a little carefree in execution. Ever since I paused the build i was not satisfied with the black Primer. I feared it would not be good for the colours making them unrealistically dark. With an Airbrush this is easy to fix and so I lightened it all up a little with some medium grey. Another first is to try use the right pressure and mixture. I would have done so long before but I suppose I didn't trust the manometer of my cheap tank. Maybe I owe the Chinese an apology. I have started applying Gunze Rlm 76 and 75 today (properly mixed 50/50 with rubbing alcohol). Next is the complementary late war green. Probably tomorrow. Funny thing is that I haven't decided on a Decal scheme yet. Sorry for the long delay, folks. ;-)

I approve. -Darth Vader-

Use a sanding stick at an angle along the canopy edge. This give you more surface area for the glue to stick to

Did the French use the combination operationally? Or was it just a test?

Good job! Very pretty.
