Thank you sir! Oh yes, that shine will be going away in a few days. I am thinking that by the end of this weekend I will have a chance to get the washes completed and a nice airbrushed coat of Humbrol Matte Clear to give it a nice used and weathered look.

Today was adding lots of little fiddly bits and such as I am trying to finish this one up...
pitot tube
the landing gear- I filed some flat spots on the wheels to give a weighted look
I added some retraction struts from my spares bin to the outer gear doors
the Ultracast bomb racks have resin sway braces I am not too keen on, so I matched some copper wire to the proper diameter and length, cut it, bent it, and glued them in place...
lower surfaces overall with oil wash in recesses
and the upper surfaces, again with the oil wash... I am really liking oils for washes... they flow great and are quite forgiving in clean up
Tomorrow I will do the flat coat, final dry brushing, and add the last bits such as the landing lights. I ought to be able to wrap this all up then....

Try them, try them and you mayJimD wrote:A good wash makes everything better. I say, sir, one day I'm going to get over my fear of these older kits and do one up and it will be entirely your fault for keeping at it churning out builds like this.
You just may like them anyway

Kein mehr shine herr Feldmarschall... Humbrol Matt Coat on...
I'm gonna head to the LHS for some supplies and give it time to dry, then will do the final bits of weathering, add the landing & navigation lights, remove the canopy masking and call her done around nightfall here...
