That’s what I thought... I’m pretty sure that the cockpit should be Dark Gull Gray...

When looking into such a small office the brighter color assists the eye finding all the tiny details.
If you build it window down it's a non-issue anyway. Don't bother.

Ok cool. I'll weather it as well so that'll help.

Any washes in there should darken it up... probably to a nice faded mid point appearance between the two colors.Medicman71 wrote:Ok cool. I'll weather it as well so that'll help.

No I haven't decided. Been too busy to really work on much. Now that the holidays are almost over, things can get back to normal.

Used a silver and a white prismacolor pencils to highlight the raised details in the cockpit. Next is a wash and then assembly.

Nice work using the silver and white pencils. It does make it easier to bring out the tiny details.
