rav Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Thank you all for your kind opinions. I really like the weathering, it is more aggressive than in your other kits but gives a really nice effect.It is not the most weathered model in my collection and I think the Olive Drab paint could be more discolored. But I'm always afraid to do too much in this matter. What kind of paint did you use for metal surfaces? Gunze metal paints or something different?Yes, it is Gunze SM01 (I didn't notice any color differences between panels in this area), but with matt Gunze C182 on it. It looks like a little faded aluminum and I like the effect. Edited January 10, 2015 by rav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Amazing model. I love the scheme, the finish and those "airborne" shots look fantastic! (Shame the 56th FG didn't use that scheme.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrlx Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Looks excellent! The paint finish and subtle weathering are superb Do you have a WIP of the build? I have Tamiya's bubble-top version and would be very interesting in knowing your opinion on the build. Cheers Jaime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
