Tomek 178 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I indeed think I am done with it, while looking at it, I still can see 2 things that needs touch up again (will you see those?) but that is a matter of minuts so no big worry I guess. So ... what was these two things which needed touch up? Just curious, since I can not see anything jumping into my eyes Anyway, it's a great looking airplane and I can't wait to see it all together in your diorama! Link to post Share on other sites
Loic 1,927 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 Karl, Tomek, thanks a lot guys, you are too good with me. regarding the 2 things that needed touch up... well: - the exaust internal are still brown on the pic, I forgot to paint those black - the gun muzzle where covered with the red decals and the decals where drilled to simulate the bullets going through those but, when I applied the decals, the muzzles were of the overall color grey + brwon/green so they too needed a touch of black inside Both have now been corrected Link to post Share on other sites

LSP_Ron 13,098 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 That's a very nice Spitty. They typically are not parked with the flaps down unless for maintenance so opening up all those panels with the flaps down is a great way to pull this off. Looks great Link to post Share on other sites
