Of course !! 

Rescribing will be cautious given the differents stuff behind that sandy color...

I'm learning...

Now the wings will be fun too...

You know what ??

Gloss white, every modellers' favourite paint .... :wall: :chair: 

 

Here's my :2c: worth of advice on it: I normally airbrush a thin coat of off-white first (a mix of Tamiya Sky Grey and Flat White in my case), then the pure white (in this case, I'd have gone off-white/flat white/gloss white). It helps getting a better coverage without applying too much paint. HTH

Gloss white, that's exactly the problem I'm having at the moment. My solution is to spray it on top of the palest grey I can find in the paint box. Unfortunately there's been a bit of paint build up before I reached that conclusion.

Don't forget the NMF Giorgio!! Every time I come across a kit that has as an option an NMF finish, I always go for the camouflaged paint scheme!!!

NMF can be sorted with the right paint, but is a real PITA in terms of properly preparing the model surface (NMF paint tends to show just every small crack, scratch or even idea of seam, you get the point :frantic: )

 

Whereas , to my knowledge, there is no gloss white paint that will do the job by itself .... :wacko:  :rofl:

WP_20190528_21_11_57_Pro

Wépion strawberries with Custard !!

Of course I drinked a Waterloo strong dark with it !!

Thinked of General Grouchy in 1815 !!! :evil_laugh:

The legend say that he did it too late at the Waterloo battle because he got stuck in Wépion tasting Strawberries...

General Blûcher did'nt waste time in tasting Belgian specialities !! :evil_laugh: again !!

Now you can also prepare the strawberries with a bit of white sugar and soaked with red wine !

The better is a Côtes du Rhone !! Really tasty !!

 

Thanks for the kind words His baronship !!
