Beautiful paint job Sir. Is this marbling under the main coat or shading afterwards (or both)?

Great stuff

[Mikele]

Thank you. I actually mix most of the paint techniques all together. First i paint basic camouflage colors "marble style", very transparent, just to mark pattern, then i do some shadings with use of colors similar to basics - light and dark green on DG and diffrent greys on OG and simetimes Offwhite and dark grey on selected panellines or rivets. In the end i do "filter" from very thinned base colors and those other colors but htis time i try to cover large areas. Basically thats the way i paint most of my aircratt models.

Sometimes i do postshading, after the decals mostly, to show up some mostly opened panels and so on. Smoke residue is painted with airbrush as well, several colors, method as above.

Very very nice. An absolute work of art., it's surely closer to art than it is modeling !

[NorthernModeller]
