Triumph Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Very very nice and if it was a real plane it has the look that it could still fly unlike some over pannel lined over weathered over chipped model examples posted Edited July 28, 2015 by Triumph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuff Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 Lovely mossy, where did you find this timberland floor varnish and how did you apply it I purchased it from a timberland store in Peterborough. I suspect it was re-badged floor polish from a well known manufacturer. I just gloop it into a large needled airbrush a give the model a few consecutive coats. It is a balance to get enough on there to flow and level out without pooling. I have actually brushed it on with some success as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
