Jasico Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Hi there! This is my first work posted and thought it would be the best way to introduce myself. Your comments are very much welcome. Eduard "Limited Edition" P-38L Lightning - Pacific version and finished it in 2014. Completely riveted and painted with Alclad - Polished Aluminium, a big mistake from my side when it came to weathering it with oil colors. Let's say that I used a bad combination of weathering techniques. Hope you like it anyway. Greetings from Mallorca! 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundown Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 You've achieved a fantastic result there. If you had issues with the weathering it certainly doesn't show, to my eye it looks really good. I particularly like the way you've masked the panels when weathering to give a crisp edge which really makes the different panels stand out. Thanks for sharing, Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
