Thank you, I sincerely appreciate that.

Dot fading topside is done, man. I used white, olive green, Van Dyke brown, and Prussian green. Here’s the results:

Wow. It looks great!

Very subtle on the dot fading. I like how that blends the chipping and markings together into the basic scheme now. Well done!

Your small scale Zero is looking fantastic, Mr Kenny!

Gentlemen,

Thank you so much! I’ve been taking periodic breaks to have a look at her as the mineral spirits slowly evaporate. I’m really liking the olive/brown patina Inended up with and the Prussian green comes out as a very nice, almost emerald sheen. The white hardly factored into this insofar as I can tell except as it pertains to the fabric control surfaces. It gave those a nice little lift. I’m happy with this and I’m glad I did not attempt salt fading/filtering. That technique, I feel, is something I need to experiment with more.

Anyhow, thank you guys for the kind words, the support, and for all the help you’ve given me. I could not have made this if y’all hadn’t offered guidance, advice, and if you guys hadn’t posted great info in your own project logs. THANK YOU!

The results are excellent Kenny, I do dot filters on armor builds with enamel never thought about doing them on aircraft. Your choices of colors is perfect.

This things gonna be a friggin' modern art masterpiece. Weathering looks fantastic. Watching and learning.....

Holy, mega-well done, chipping and weathering...Batman!
