Looking good! I admire you for your work on this model. I had the same kit and gave up on it and ordered the Trumpeter kit. You're doing a good job with a not so great kit.
Looking great so far! You should, however, stop using menus as your photo backdrop. It's making me hungry for chinese food. But then again, since you are doing a AVG plane, what the hell, go for it.
Now that she is all glossed up and dried, the decals are applied.
These are then sprayed again with more gloss cote and allowed to dry over night.
next vallejo matt finish is brushed on teh plane, and the first black wash is made to start bringing out details as well as making exhaust and gun trails.
While that was drying teh canopy was painted first with green enamal (since i know from experience that acrylics don't apply well to clear) and the canopy and side panels are attached using elmer's white glue.
Over the next few hours I added concentric washes to give a layered look to the black highlighting, one about every 20 minutes or so, allowing the arcyllic black to dry and then doing it again, wiping away excess that didn't look right.
The project at this point is complete, only the finished photos are needed.
Looking good Chris. There is something about the plane Jane olive green aircraft I like. I especially like the US ARMYunder the wings. I need to get one of these someday soon.
