Ilyushin, Not exactly sure to what you are refering but if you mean the model, I get most of mine on Ebay now since I'm 150mi from the nearest Hobby shop
Bill, great reference material, I was going by a model I saw on line which only had the two lines. I will definitely work on adding the third line tomorrow. On the top pic they do not seem to reach the booms but on the last pic they really cover the entire boom and even onto the tail. The degree of contrast also amazes me. I expected some darkening but these appear as a light gray? I am a bit leary about chalk/pastel as I've new used them before though Vic suggested them as a way to "dirty" the entire aircraft
Andy, that is what I am doing though because of the extent of the stain a "damp" brush is more like it. I started with X-19 Smoke and eventually a dark grey. Terry and Vic have been helping me quite a bit as this is a first for me.
