Nikola Topalov Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Decals - check! Not super easy to soften. Great print and in register but kind of on a thicker side. I used both Vallejo decal softener and Humbrol Decalfix to do the persuasion. There is some minor silvering to fix. We will see how it all looks after a clear coat.

She won't be this clean in the end as I still need to weather her, but I will keep it reasonable and as realistic as I can. Best, Nikola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Topalov Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hi gents, Weathering has begun! First was the colour modulation (which I should have done before decals but life ain't complicated enough so I like to spice it up a bit ) Lesson learned. Next are washes, post-shading, oils, pencils... Scotsman, mc65, coogrfan and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Looks fantastic, Nikola! Plenty of inspiration for my own Mustang build, which carries a similar scheme. Kev Nikola Topalov 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
