Thanks for the comments and likes guys. A couple of things done over the last two days, just haven't had the time to post. First off, I masked and sprayed the OD anti-glare panels. For the colour, I used equal parts of Tamiya XF-62 and XF-49. It looks a bit light in the photos due to lighting but I'm good with it seeing it with my own eyes. The finish was deliberately left a bit patchy, just cuz.
Masks removed:
Then it was on to the turbos. These were rather fun and involved lots of colours. First, these were sprayed a mix of Tamiya XF-56 Steel and XF-7 Red in a 5 to 1 ratio per Tamiya's suggestion but I hated that - too metallicky-pinky, so I added another part or two of XF-54 Red Brown and sprayed that as a base colour. I then wet the turbos and sprinkled salt on them. When the salt was dry, I shot some very thin XF-54 over the parts. I then got rid of some of the salt with a stiff brush and shot some very thin XF-50 Field Blue over select parts to represent heat discolouration. Then all the salt was brushed off and silver dry-brushed over the raised joint clamps. Someone asked about how I intended to do these but I can't remember who. Anyway, there's the detailed descripion. I have yet to drip some panel wash into the turbo wheel to make it satnd out more.
Thanks again for looking in. I apreciate it.
