Nice finish Daniel. Faded but not overdone. I like it.

Do you have lose lids for the hatches and filler points, or will there be some internal caps and taps?

Well, here again.

I just painted the fuselaje sides. For this I used a method that Steffen had explained me. I used the airbrush. Lets see what do you think, I´m glad with the results,

Oooh yeaaa! That's the thing! Looks just like a bored mechanic with a paint bucket and a sponge ran by it. Super, Daniel!

Hi Hermann,

I used the airbruch for this. I put a very low pressure in the compresor and I didn´t put to much tinner on the paint so it gets more thickens

Hi Daniel

Very nice details!!!

But - you know me - Will you rework the decals so that the panel lines go through them and do not stop at their border?

all the best

Daniel, Steffen what was the method for the dense mottle?
Can you explain it. It looks exactly what I want for Rote13 of JV44.

Thanks.

Hi JP

Well I have a spatter nozzle for my air gun and I used it at very low pressure with a slightly thicker paint than normal (IIRC Vallejo paint direct from the bottle, maybe a bit thinned).. Daniel explained his approach in one post (shortly)

here is my model again:



HTH

cheers

Steffen
