S.B., that looks pretty nice. I might suggest a little work with pencil on the panel lines or some other weathering on the bare metal to match the wear on the anti glare areas.

That's a very pleasing result, especially by considering what a bitch this kit is. I copy Carlos' suggestion. A dark grey wash would add to the overall appearance.

Stik that's a really good idea about the pencil. I'll give it a go and see how it looks. Thanks!

Bob, I like using pencil on lighter color builds, especially ones with raised panel lines. Use some tissue or a cotton ball to smudge the pencil in the direction of airflow and boom! On NMF builds, the color looks very natural. And if you goof up, it is easily removed with a damp swap to try again. Seal it all in afterwards to protect it.
