advantage of protruding rivets...!! As opposed to countersunk..sand wet and they show up..

 

[Crimea_River]

I kinda like that actually.

 

[Wayne Little]

It's great but still think a tad darker...

 

[aviatik]

Yes, I agree....this is too much sun fading...

 

[aviatik]

On the otherhand, light exposure ( flash, natural light or artificial light) may have an influence too..

 

[aviatik]

 

[aviatik]

different angles anduse of light..

 

[Crimea_River]

Not sure what exactly what effect you're trying to achieve but they all look pretty good depending on how much of a worn look you want.

[aviatik]

It is indeed de worn look I am after...

 

[aviatik]

A variation on the chipped look..

 

[aviatik]

All focused on the painting at the moment......canopy, landing gear and engine installation next...

[aviatik]

[Wurger]

Nice.

Now that you have had plenty of practice with Alclad2. How are you finding it to use as opposed to enamel?

 

[aviatik]

Again...easier...! Just a good prep is necessary....

When completely dry, will try a wet sand again..this time more paint on the subject..
