Thanks for the comment's folk's,struggling to find model time this last week but today I got the lower wing roundel's applied, a few tense moment's

as not only do they cover a bulge but also the ammo chute's need to be cut out glad to say all's well.

That subtle wash has highlighted the panel detail nicely. Cracking job Steve, did you use an oil based one?

Thank's John.I gave Vallejo water based wash a go,I bought it last year and wasn't impressed but I thinned it 50% further with water and got

a much better result.

Thanks for the info Steve. I've seen Vallejo's washes recommended a several times now and I like your results. I think that I will give some a try on my Basset 206, having gone to the trouble of a mini re-scribe it would be a shame not to pick it out.

You will be able to judge for yourself John but i first tried it on a small build and unthinned I found it hard to remove and it ruined the kit.

Great work with the panel line wash Steve. It's really brought it to life. Well done. :thumbsup:

Kind regards,

Stix

Thank's Stix,I,ve used the same mix on the 109 in the STGB look's great due to Trumpeters fine recessed detail.

Apologies again folk's building work claimed a second GB failure with this one,a move into the loft room just completed yesterday for future

modelling didn't help as has a four week absence of any modelling at all,only the canopy to fit and a few bit's to fix and she'll be there so hopefully

in RFI aircraft in the near future.
