Last 2-3 days I have some fever :sad:

And last things on this model I have finished under it.

Tomorow I must go back to Libya and I want it finished.

First I couldnt catch good photo and I see dusting technic must be improved...

But here it is, hope you like it

Cheers

Great build like always Roman.

Very nice and clean model, the paint work is perfect.

The dust effect is superb. Do you it with streaking grimes thinned with white spirit method?

Cheers

Nice done roman! But one question ...how did you color the copper wire as towing cables? I always have problems to get the paint opaque on a copper wire.

Cheers Benny

thx guys :smiling3:

@Wittmann205 - I just spray it with acrilic valejjo primer and after with mix of acrilyc iron and gun metal.

Have some wash with velejjo rust wash and thats all...

And what I found for PE sets and wire cables - Dont touch :smiling3:

I have also all time problems with PE or wires... very easily paint is going off, probably on this wires on some places gone off, but looks like rust :smiling3: because is copper wire...

I saw AK Interactive give one new product "burnishing fluid" - one of my coleauge on WSM explain that PE set after have dark colour and if soe paint go off it looks like damage or same like you done it with brush - or chipping

Must try that product and see how it is

Cheers

Thx roman,

I have the same problems. That burnishing fluid works only with brass. And that track burnishing fluid only with white metal. I didn't found the right method for browning copper :sad:

I use Alclad primer and that stays put!

The solution for turning brass ans copper PE works well and as you say if the paint falls off, it just looks like bare iron.
