Dirk looking real good! it's only a thought but I think on mine I sprayed over the fuse with 76 real lightly to blend it back in again just a thought.Cheers Kevin

I thought about doing that. I still haven't rulled it out yet

Not much to show here but I was able to do a little more on the fuselage blending the camouflage a bit.

Till net time. Thanks for looking

Hey Dirk...just a thought...you now could try some Dark Green Pastel lightly over the squiggles just to bring them out a touch...then a gloss coat to seal it....maybe?

I have just done this kit myself and I can say that the one you have done looks alot better than mine Great work.

I have to agree with Wayne Dirk .The 76 looks a little to heavy to me atleast you needed 1/4-1/2 maybe of what was applied but the pastels may work it (1) gloss it (2)decal it (3) gloss then flat and then start the pastels on the flat and another very light coat of flat.You might not even have to use the last coat of flat depending on how much it gets handled.It's not going to take much pastels.Kevin

Thank you for the advice but I've never worked with pastels. No clue on how to apply it.

It's not hard at all Dirk in fact for me when in the mood one of the fun parts on modeling.Do not get oil based pastels if you want to try it OK,I apply the pastels in this case with an old brush chopped some sorta stiff.Let's ask this Dirk with the tape off how does she look from 2-3' away??Does it work?Cheers Kevin

Excellent work Dirk. I use to build the1/72 models. Had about 40 built and hanging from the ceiling. Yours look a lot better than mine ever did. Keep up the great work sir.

I thought I recognized that first shot. I've got that same book. It's got a lot of great photos but needs a little more tech info.
