bravo, very nicely done.

Now...do I need one of these kits too.....hrmmmm

Thanks for sharing. I wondered how you did the chipping to look so nice and random..it looks authentic, up close which you don't get with dry-brushing and/or silver pencils.

Happy to share!! Thinking about it, it is how real chipping occurs.

I've built two of these kits and thoroughly enjoyed both. There are lots of schemes available, some look scary to do, some very simple. If you want a simple kit that falls together, but lets you go wild on schemes, this is a good one.

thank you, may have to go shopping saturday

Beautiful job and a very realistic finish, not a big fan of Japanese subjects but I built one of these many years ago (Frog I think) when I was very young and I do have a soft spot for the type.

Great job Don. Thanks for the tips on the chipping. I'll have to give it a try.

Yeah! Thanks for that tip. Seems like a much better solution than using salt or modeling products at a fraction of the cost!

I can't take credit for "inventing" this method of chipping paint, read about it a loooong time ago, can't remember when. Might have been back in the 90's.

The instrument panel had the raised detail filed off so i could apply the decal, so i don't have a spare. I do have a whole bunch of decals i'll never used that you can have. PM me if your interested.
