Have got the gun bays sorted and done a bit of spraying, experimenting with weathering and shading at the moment so not much else to update.

1 2. A couple of shots of the starboard gun bay. You may have noticed that this kit has raised panel lines and I was not in the mood to clean them all off and scoring out the new ones, so am toying with ideas as to how to enhance them as they stand. Anybody got any suggestions?.................:| :|

Looking good, and quick work Vic. You probably won't need to do anything to enhance the panel lines Vic, but if you really want to enhance them a bit, a fine pencil will still do the trick; it tends to 'reverse' the effect of the raised line detail, and can look very effective. But it must be done very lightly, especially on a light coloured background, or it'll look far too artificial and false.
 
Thanks Wayne Terry :D :D

I was thinking along these lines also Terry, so it's good to get a second opinion.........:lol: :lol:
