Here is my latest build. Just for fun I added a scratchbuilt cockpit as the kit had next to nothing in it. Can't really see anything though, sut it's there. The kit is the Hasegawa 1/72 Lightning. I used Humbrol paints and the kit decals. Very light post shading along the panels lines. Not a contest winner by any means, but it was a fun build. Comments welcome. "Q"

Very nice, some very good masking and painting going on there and the post shading looks spot on.
Thanks for sharing

Post shading is applying a very light spraying of a darker color over the panel lines. I generally use flat black. It is more of a tinted thinner than a thinned paint. If you look at the panel lines on my Lightning you can see that it is a little darker on tis area. HTH "Q"
