That’s a superb paint job- the shading is top notch. Canopy and interior look very good too.

Superb job!

Very nice clean build. The paint you pro builders can do is just incredible to say the very least.

Congrats, Bill.

Glad you liked the build.

I preshaded with humbrol 32 dark grey then applied the overall colours in lights coats building up to a get a subtle effect. The olive drab is xtracolor ANA613 again applied in thin coats to build up a subtle effect. I then went over this with xtracolor faded olive drab in the center of panels i a very random pattern. Then some smaller access panels were masked and painted a a slightly differnet shade to break up the appearane but it was kept to a minimum. After all the main colours decals are on i applied a wash of paynes grey on the underside and a mixture of paynes grey and raw umber for the top. This was applied with a finie brush to the panel lines only and wiped off with cotton buds after about an hour. I don’t use any postshading from an airbrush. Then when dry sealed with humbrol mattcote.

I use a revell vario airbrush with a medium tip for all my paintwork

More I look into this model more I need … to see a bit higher resolution pictures. SUPERB JOB on painting !!!

I like this aircraft a lot !!
