Here is another little update.. I got some paint on the ole girl.. :banana:

Image
Image
Image
As you can see from the last pic I have some touch ups to do the gray with a little high in a few places on the wings and tail section..

The next pic is off the underside
Image

The paints I use are Tamiya XF-3 for the yellow around the engines covers and XF-62 Olive Drab for the top half and on the bottom half I used Model Master neutral gray FS 36270 :think: :think: not sure if the XF-62 and FS36270 are the right color but I kind off like it.

:cheers2:

Well the Decal crew finally showed up to apply the decals.. They had a bugger off a time the decals were very thick they used a barrel off micro sol but they turned out pretty good.... I think?

Well I had a go at the weathering.. :think: :think: I might have over done it on some parts and the pictures make it look worst then it really is.. Here are a few pics its doesn't have a flat or matt coat of clear on it yet..

The wash I use was one I made from ideas from Coen or Master Coen vids on u-tube its just model master black with loads off thinners. I have to say first time doing anything like that and I think I did ok :think: but I did over do it on the chipping (sliver paint).

Well here she is with ALCLAD klear kote matte over the weathering and decals I really like the ALCLAD line off paints.

Here we have the mechanic giving the pilots a hard time about the waist guns

Image

Nose art
Image

Here we have the pilot having a go at the mechanic for the engine leaking so much oil
Image

Here we have the mechanic telling the pilot he added new guns to the nose
Image

and this is what we would of seem if we saw the ole girl flying over head..

There she is all done :dance:
