Final touches...
After applying the first matt coat I did some weathering with silver pencil, metal powders, pigments and AKI Brown Wash. This shows up best on the underside.
Smoke, oil streaks, chipping ect
Followed by the underside 'final fittings'
Remember the wing tip lights, those small clear parts that pinged of into the ether...
Well this is how I resolved that.
The holes were partly filles and I dropped some red and green paint into them.
I then got this stuff out...
I do not have much left and I have no idea where to get more (any ideas anyone?) I placed a drop in the tray and used a cocktail stick to place a drop in each light hole. I made sure it was slightly 'proud' and then cured it with the pen-light.
It works....
Instead of my usual EZ-Line I used fishing line for the aerial as I am positioning the pit open and it needs to 'hang-loose'. I superglued it into holes that I drilled before painting.
Competed model pics in my next post.....
