Making some progress on the Ventura . I used the kit provided decals on the IP . The Ultra Cast resin wheels had the perfect depth on the tread for my wash . Wheels painted with Mr color and Tamiya LP -11 paints . Then weathers with oil wash on the hub and mig pacific dust on the tires . Struts painted with Tamiya LP-11 and weathered with oil wash .

Nice job on the cockpit bits!

 

[SaparotRob]

I am blown away by the dedicated fanaticism of you guys. I've seen just a few pages of a partial listing of greys but "Mid Pacific dust"? That's got to be just one of the shades of dirt available, right?
Agree with Maty12.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice work so far!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Some very nice detail touching.

Spent the morning working on the Vector resin props . Clean up was really easy. I used three different sized drill bits to drill the hole out for the prop shaft. The fit was a lille tight so i used a Tamiya snading spongs to sand the kit prop shaft and the fit was better. Now to was the prop and spray some primer
