John_W Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 You swapped their 1/48 in to fool us... Nice to see aircraft weathered with primer showing instead of straight to bare metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejboyd5 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I have been sometimes guilty as well, but it seems that most of us forget to paint the underside of the tires after we have sanded them flat to give the loaded look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharknose156 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The execution is fantastic. Bravo ! What paint brands did you use mainly ? Did you re-do the rivets or the kit is already well detailed ? congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiton Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 WoW !! Very realistic !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polkenti Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hello ! Thank you all !!! The model is painted with Tamiya Gunze acrylics and weathered using multi media technics; inks, pigments, pencils, washes, etc... Something very intuitive and cumulative. The step by step process is on Britmodeller in the process models. Feel free to ask anything you want to know if the other topic is not enough clear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
