madcat911 Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 Made some progress in the paint shop. In black primer and looking a bit like Vandy One And getting the mottling base down with some stencils. Looking a little diseased Mark 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almac Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Excellent progress there Mark. I remember seeing that technique using mottle stencils on yuotube. I thought I might try it but chose to do random squiggles then mist over the main colour. Cheers Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FortyEighter Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Nice work so far; given the scale your cockpit looks excellent and I like the tip about the tyre treads. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I like the pre-shading idea as well, have seen quite a bit about it and plan to trying it on my build. I'll be using some 1/48th Macchi C.202/205 masks, really interested to see how it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madcat911 Posted October 28, 2021 Author Share Posted October 28, 2021 It's been a while since the last update but i've been plugging away at this build. Masked and got the white bits painted Mark 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat911 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 I have not been updating but I have been working on this. Replacement decals arrived and I have been applying them. Problem is that they are poor copies of the kit decals with bad saturation and thick carrier film. Trying my best to finish this one.
