Hi Tony,

That looks stunning, I did have to take a double look at the first photo though, the last 3 are my favourite ones, how far we have come...10/10

They look amazing Tony, nice work! Am about to start a 1/48 Harrier Gr.7, if it even looks half as good as yout Typhoon I'll be a happy modeller. Any tips on detailing the panel lines?Nice work.Chris

Thanks chris, i just did the panel lines with a watercolour wash (bit of brown ,bit of black ,bit of white) ,just to define the lines a bit. Im not a fan of the over-emphasised panel lines sometimes seen, I tried to keep these very subtle, i just felt that the overall grey would be a bit too uniform without some sort of highlight.I do ,however, always like to define the control surfaces and add a bit of muckying up in certain areas! A good thing for the panel lines is the flory models washes available from our own shop here http://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/weat...anufacturer=89 when my home made mix runs out .ill be getting some!! , cheers tony

Top Work there Tony Very nice bird. might have to add one to the stash.
Excellent finish on it. I to had to look twice at the first photo. I thought it was the real one at first!
I must say that the two together make a very interesting pair. (lets not go there again!)
***** from me to and very well deserved.

Tony awesome work really nicely done!!!

Cheers Tony, I always used to use a fine graphics pen after a gloss coat but it always seemed a bit heavy, never thought of using watercolours, I may well try some florymodel wash too.

Cheers

Chris
