It is really looking sweet Steve. I think I might have to try the Mr. Disolved Putty while I am drinking my Mr. Coffee… Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. but really, it does sound like a good product. Watching this with interest.

Lookin’ goooooood, MC!
I still haven’t tried that chipping technique or Mr dissolved putty, or perfect plastic putty. I am really curious to find out how those products would work for me.
But Mr. Coffee and me… [C][Y]
The chipping is looking great, Steve. I love the weathering you have going here.

Steve, Mike, BK thanks
I added the decals today. I chipped the decals with an x-acto blade where the paint was already chipped. The decals went down very nicely and reacted well to the setting solution.
Next will be the washes.
This build looks like it’s on it’s way to the finish line. Looks fantastic! The real thing if you ask me!

Thanks Toshi,
I’m done with the Val. This was a nice kit though the instructions were a little hard to interpret at times. It did require some scratching to make it acceptable but all in all it was fairly accurate.
Nicely finished, MC! LOVE the effects!
Chipping looks appropriate and not over done. [Y]
My favorite part has to be those wing tips folded up. [:D]
Excellent! I do like the chipping effect. Like Mike said, it looks appropriate and not overdone. What did you use as the chipping medium/fluid?
Thanks Mike and ridkeusmc. I used AK Interactive Worn Effects.
NICE !! That turned out pretty sweet. Nicely done, Steve.
BK
Amazing work with this Val!
I love this aircraft and you have done a really good work with it. congrats!!
About the weathering effects … i use too the worn effect from AK, but i like to mix with other different techniques. In my opinion with more variety of weathering techniques you use, more credibility yo have in the model. Is it almost ready no?? I look forward to see how you finish it.
Great job there Steve!!!
Kept meaning to comment and never got to it- guess I can finally comment now that you’re finished. [8-)]
Thanks Jamie, LOL I am finished with it although looking at some of the builds on your website I’m rethinking that decision.
Thanks Gam
Schuuweeeeeet!!! Fantastic looking build!!! Man that’s a good lookin’ Val there Steve!!!
Hey Steve. Sorry that I’m late for the party, but the Val looks fantastic. You have done a super job on detailing, painting, and weathering.
How do you compare the AK chipping fluid to hairspray?
Thanks Mustang and PJ,
PJ I haven’t tried hairspray but I’ve heard thet the “Weathering Effects” are not as drastic as hairspray but their “Heavy Chipping Fluid” is.
jajaa… I’m sorry! … i thougt you said still working on it … it’s ok by this way!!
Congrats for your great work!!
