Will be another day as I'm getting a new camera from Phreak tomorrow :thumbsup:

I must admit, I've tried lots of different flat varnishes and I'm afraid that nothing beats the Humbrol Flat Cote, I thin it about 10 parts thinners to 1 part flat cote with Xtracolour thinners and it goes on perfectly, a really thin and flat finish. Xtracrlix and Vallejo flats tend to have a slight satin sheen. :weep:

For the flattest flat of all try Testors Dullcote, I swear by the stuff.

Flat coated, ordnance added and RBF tags. I've just got to do a little touch up on some areas with the flat coat, then its put the tail planes on and its done.

I am really looking forward to seeing the bare metal areas now that you have the flat coat on the fuse. I can imagine they will look quite nice!!

Just a superb build mate.....and im not just saying that because we are the Global Moderating Team!! LOL

Stoppit! After seeing some of the builds on here over time I'm mostly playing catchup or trying desperately to work out how other people have done the sme thing.

The kit has been good, only thing I wish I had done was metal tube and pinned the Tanks as it isnt as neat as I would have liked. But thats the engineer in me creeping out!

Its not Tamiya, its not Hasegawa, but its pretty damn close and after a primer coat and the top coats the rivets have toned down really well. I'm looking forward to seeing Trumpeters Harriers and Crusader as they are catching the big 2!

I wish I had that sort of talent!

The only difference between me and you is you use a paintbrush. When you get an airbrush Daz, the difference will suprise you!
