rob85 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Really nice work Steve, they look cracking. I would say the French is my personal favourite! But I do love the SEAC one as well, the French scheme just pips it. Looking forward to the third! Cheers Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi folk,s no good putting it off any longer time for the one I,ve the least confidence with as my silver finishes can be hit or miss,here's the main parts off the sprue and cleaned up,no flash at all on any part,s unlike the Revell kit's however not as finely detailed either and what's going on with that wheel? probably get a bit interior paint on today at some stage and all being well this one will carry the "Balls out" scheme using Revell's decals. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Good to see you're about to get this one underway. I'm not certain about the metal finish I've got to do on mine either - I feel a few experiments are going to be needed. And that wheel definitely isn't in a good state!

I,m trying Vallejo's new metalic,s Stix early test pieces show good result's but I,m not the most patient sprayer and they really need to be misted on so need care when applying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can highly recommend them Steve, I've just used their aluminium on my two P-47's and I am really impressed. Decide beforehand what finish you want, if you want a well weathered look use either matt or semi gloss black as an undercoat but if you want something a little shinier then you need to use gloss black. I look forward to seeing your results. Craig. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
