Mike Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 any one have any tips on applying paint to the small switches and levers? iv tried toothpicks, brushes even needels. all with mediocore performace. Good lighting, magnification, and really good quality brush of size 000 or smaller. I use a 2.5x magnification OptiVisor, and Windsor & Newton Series 7 brush for switches & buttons. Works a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverstone 2 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Cockpit detail is starting to look very authentic with very high detail. Impresive considering the age of the Revell tooling! Look forward to seeing more progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shan Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Why dont you try the marinetime paint scheme as shown on the box. There are lots of desert storm versions and GR4 versions and other German versions , but not much on this particular marinetime version... i started out with the same issue of purchasing the german version and trying to convert to the british version and found it too much of a hastle so i decided to buy a brit version and finish the model......... anyways, i hope you will be including either paragon / flighpath flaps and slats..... best of luck shan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
