Good work there Jerry, on the paint ratio's, 50/50 is a good start, you can add one or the other to taste from there....

That's looking great jerry, and I'm with Wayne re the paint mix ratios. You'll probably find that some colours behave differently, due to the 'weight' of the pigment, so some might need a touch more thinners and vice versa.

Thank you guy;s for the input on mix ratio's it has helped. I stretched some clear sprue for the fuel sight glass and gave a little wash all that's needed are seatbelt's be ready to close up.

Looking very good. However I don't think that the kind of the cockpit weathering is correct. An aircraft cockpit is made of aluminium mostly. So it is not possible to see the rust all around there. A such state of a cockpit interior can be noticed at derelict planes for instance. Also a maintenance crew usually took care of the area. For a couple of reasons ,the dirt, mud or sand weren't welcome the most there.
So we have to be very carefull with a such touch done becuase the final effect can be different from what we want to achieve.
