Thanks Guys ! So let's build a staffel

The thickened light grey mix is spread and feathered over gun bulges, radiator edges and so on to add shape.





With the same paint, subtle scratches are added

Thanks Bernd

The last "shape enhance" actions are made with cold ageing filter, subtle touches into some recesses and along wing joints

Thanks Bernd

The very last effect is some oil leaks from the engine.
Given the need for subtlety, a filter & wash, black tone, was used.

Yes very inspiring build ! I have the tamiya e4 on the to do list! I will be borrowing some of your great techniques to try I think - once again great work.

Giuseppe,
Just an amazing build in 1/72 scale. Your painting, and weathering is the equal to anything I've seen in the larger scales.

Thank you all Guys.
Some more pics.
This kit availed me to win a master gold prize at the Italeri event in Bologna. (being awarded by the commander of 6th Squadron of Ghedi, flying on tornado planes, is not a daily business...)

Guiseppe,

Excellent free-hand camo!

Yes, these new 1/72 Airfix threaten to steal me away from 1/48 and other model companies.

Wonderful work.
