Thanks Mate! My model was finished in Alclad over gloss black base coat (also Alclad IIRC). Undersides were Alclad "aluminium" and top & sides were "polished aluminium". Various panels were masked & then tinted with Tamiya "smoke". Washes were applied in acrylic dark grey & black to accentuate panel lines. A couple of areas were flawed a little (poor technique, not the kit's fault), so I masked locally & sprayed some Humbrol "polished aluminium" out to the panel edges - adding some further contrast. Exhaust stains were carefully airbrushed using Humbrol gloss dark brown. A little pastel dusting around the undercarriage was the finishing touch. Wanted this kit from the moment I heard of it, and I am pleased with how it turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I built mine, I was quite happy to leave out all interior detail behind the cockpit bulkhead, knowing that it could not be seen. Even a p/e cockpit set would be a bit of a waste, because only vague shapes can be discerned through the windows. Noice! And good to see someone using Peter's decals! I have one on the go which, when/if finished, will be in Airlines of NSW colours, using Peter's stuff again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
