God in the detail, and some. It really has the "substance" of the real thing, extremely convincing, truly impressive.

I always look forward to your work, outstanding craftsmanship..the treatment of the plywood is outstanding. Could you comment on how you achieved the base colour and tones, before the decals were applied?

 

Thanks, brilliant stuff,

 

Peter

Hi Peter thank you fro the kind words.

For the base colors i used white that i distressed by micromeshing and then i used brown to do some shading and filled randomly the panels with mostly radome, tan, buff and i think desert yellow. Everything got a clearcoat and then was polished in prep for the decals. i will share some posts here that i think might be helpful in answering your question. Thanks again!
