thanks thanks guys, as I said I wanted to do this plane runs out thoroughly ground better than I do and therefore slower to mount, well, even so I have almost what I bring photos of the device and given the Klear and some details that will did.
as you will see I have the chips in the next position in the image plane instructions instead of the salt technique have made the chips with the sponge technique (a technique that works best for cars and car), I gave by matt varnish for a clear reason the glint of metal in these situations but is always seen as much satin and metal planes that are natural if they paint is always dull.
the pics
a bit of transparent put all parties not going anywhere I put the biggest for the chips better appreciate
at the bottom in Castilian intrados is said, there has been some effect of leaking fluid but do not want to mess it much lighter or almost nothing, but if you see the slight trace of fluid losses
do not know if you noticed in the engine and cockpit effect but also has some rust on rims,.
as I said I wanted to do dim the effect they had no time to get dirty these devices.

I do believe that this beats the salt, looks very realistic particularly in close-up.

thanks fellas,
vic, for this effect is that the chips are cases as in this case small when it comes to making this technique a Japanese (for instance), every time you put the sponge where there already chipped noticeable relief and is not smooth as in the other, also the edges of the paint of one another is quite remarkable, as one can see that the metal is beneath the top color and which has jumped with a ridge, it is seen that the metal is at the same height or above the paint should be above, even if the aspect is very superior in the sponge of the salt.

you know that I'm a little short of time for models but hey I am slowly making him stuff and finally the decals are already in place.
Well after watching the only image I found the plane I was disappointed really fat, the decals have nothing to do with bringing the model if you look at the wings liveries are different model and see how I solve it.

Looking sharp!
Decals look great! The picture may have been toward the end of service. I know that the British insignias changed multiple times on their aircraft stationed in the Pacific. If you look at my bird you will notice off colored roundels on the aircraft as that was due to the changing of insignias. :
Note the number 373 is painted over the slate grey roundel as well as the giant slate grey roundel on the starboard wing.

Looks good Sergio and yes there were a lot of identification changes towards and beyond the end of the conflict.
Sure is!
