Great build, loving the decals. What wash did you use for the top of the aircraft? It is very nice. :th: :th:

THANKS, i am glad you liked, the Wash used are two,First one the Ultimate Concrete which did 95%, however in some areas for what ever reason I could not keep the wash to stay (I think because the recess lines were not deep enough) so i used the Humbrol white wash which is not on my top choices but it did the trick.
Thanks
