Brian,

Very nice again, you must have an impressive 1/72 collection developing.

Lovely collection of Jags Brian, all very nicely turned out. What size is your display area?, you have a serious amount

of builds to put on show! (and that's just the 72 scale)

That's a fantastic 'Cat Collection' Brian, the 41Sqdn Special looks brilliant.

Could you tell me what you used to paint the gun ports. I have a retirement scheme Jaguar with gun ports unpainted at the moment because I couldn't find a suitable colour/method for doing them.

Cheers

Thanks for the comment nimrod54. For painting the gun ports I used Humbrol Gloss Red and darkened it with their Gloss Black, adding a little at a time until it looks similar to the real thing. Hope this helps....Brian

Thanks for that Brian, I will give that a go. I could see from reference photos that it was a red-brown colour, but everything that I tried to mix came out to brown - probably because I was starting with a brown base. :banghead:
