Beautiful work.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

This was all he had done. After the model back to the bench finished the wells of the landing gear.

I painted and applied the wear on some parts of the air ducts and radiators.

I am afraid having asked this question before, but obviously on the old place we lost. So, maybe you could again tell me how you do this sweet faint shadings around all those structures?

Fantastic work! I'm curious as well but do have an idea though. Intimidating as hell for me to try doing it myself. I'm always afraid I'll put too much on.

Thomas and BlackSheep214.

As I've said here (I suppose) I use the post shading. After painting the interior Green, a mix of 2 parts XF-3 (flat yellow) and 1 part XF-5 (flat green), I applied lights and shadows.

For the lights.

Interior Green 1 + yellow 0.5.

For the shadows.

Black (I use Tamiya XF-1).

The two colors with about 80% of X-20 A Thinner Tamiya.

After applying shading use the Aqua Clear Gloss of Alclad, a wash with Dark Brown MIG and dry brush with Tamiya XF-04 enamel. Finally the matte clear also of Alclad.

I did not like the additional deposits painting. This time first painted glossy black, then aluminum.

Image

Image

Machine guns. Painted black and then a kind of dry brush with graphite.

Image

Flaps and ailerons.

Image

Image

Once'll let the engine covers open the air duct missing.

Image

Image

A few more pieces aluminum.

Image

Image

Image

And for now it is all.
