That's really subtle mottling. How did you accomplish that?

Thanks Fred, Jess, & Les.

Jessica,
I think it's the lighting from my flash that made the model look kind of subtle mottling. I only used one main color for the scheme.

Nice work on the wing! That really brings back fond memories from back in my previous modeling days. If its the Dragon model im thinking about It was back when I was in high school when I put it together! Of course its gone now, but this might be inspiration for a revisit. Such an awesome plane!

Thanks very much for the comments.

I'm hoping that Revell would make one in 1/32 and that would be awesome

yes I've seen it before from ZM but I'm hoping Revell would also make it because the price will be much better than kit from ZM. Although ZM makes very detail kit.
