Wow! That looks great Stik!

I use Vallejo Metal Colors and I generally use either "Jet Exhaust" or "Steel". After I paint them, they get a dark wash and sometimes some black pigments on the inside. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53736807720_1de25df2b5_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/537354478...

Built this little thing in a day in a half. Just needed a palette cleanser after finishing the two Super Hornet and before I get back to the big builds. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53731787347_99b609c1a9_c.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53732981914_5a39bbf737_c.jpg https://live.stat...

Wow! That's impressive!

That's a great loss. RIP.

Wow! That looks great!!

I remember a few years ago they did the heritage paint schemes for the Navy centenary.

Those were awesome!! I have the decals for the S-3 Viking in the centenary scheme.

Very nice!!

Bingo! Probably a a bit my fault as well. I scraped and sanded the mating surfaces before re-gluing everything. It's now back up on the wall.
