What were you worried about? She looks great.. You have a stand so we can see her in flight as it were?
thanks glad you like her. she was first sprayed with humbrol rattle can 53, to stop her being see through. then sprayed hu11 rattle can silver. then finely wet and dried to add a more metaly look i discovered this by accident on a revell lightning i made. then hand painted free hand the black and grey areas with hu33 and hu165 acyrilics thinned only with windsor and newton flow improver wonderful stuff it is too.
then sealed with astonish floor polish applied with a sponge, about 3 coats till shiney. then i added the fantasy print shop decals over the engraved roundel and regestration locations.
then i give it a home made pastel/washing up liquid/water wash.
then removed the excess, then sealed with a can of hu35 clear dusted on to even it all out.
then finally a few sponged on coats of astonish floor polish to seal it again.
oh and i forgot to mention ill find a stand and when the weather is better ill take some other photos, ill also try editing the photos in gimp like i did with the airfix ones and try to get it flying along side some airfix ones make them scaled roughly to each other so it can be compared and when i do that ill probably do some shots with the lindberg ones i have too.
cheers rob
