Buccaneer 2 hours later

This is the same model 2 hours later. The tail fin has been attached and the seams rubbed down. The brown paint is acrylic and i have used it as a highlighter for the top coat of desert pink/sand. The paint acts like filler for the really small seams , like tippex. Ive used this method for years and it works. I still use tippex as well but i wanted something to show through. The desert storm aircraft got very dirty and worn paint was the norm. Ive now gone a bit further and added the horizontal stabilisers and fitted the seats and windscreen and blast screen , as well as paintinginside the exhaust pipes and intakes. The canopy is too low comparedwiththe windscreen so im going to add a thin strip down each side to raise it up a tad.
