matt_1185 Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 Back to Slowly moving forward on cockpit/cabin area, instrument panels done and weathered with some Vallejo desert dust wash. I also pulled apart my MH6M Little bird to restore it, so I tossed the pilots in the pavehawk seats to see how it would look lol. this is the first time I’ve used instrument panel decals from a kit and I must say after a few coats of micro Sol I was able to form them to the wonderfully detailed instrument panels I think they look pretty good. with the desert dust wash..

Lord give me patients lol I'm in the process of using a similar technique, with a little variation to yours, I found the VMS Hull Tax Air better that TET Step 1: Add a very thin line of the VMS hull tex glue to the recessed rivets - https://www.vms-supplies.com/product-page/vms-hull-tex-air Step 2: Using the same brush, collect around 6-7 .03mm solder balls on the brush and gently add them into the recess of each rivet Step 3: Wash the brush in acetone and remove excess, wipe and stipple the excess glue from the plastic. Step 4: Prime 1st with MrMetal Primer and then MrSurfacer 1500 matt_1185 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
