Sorry mate I missed the start of this. Have no doubt It will be up to your normal high standards,............. the build and paint photos prove that. Like the idea of doing thin coats, I must do the same. Camo is most effective. :thumb2:

Good evening all,

Paul, thanks I always love to have a crack at a nice camo job.:thumb2:

John, thank you:thumb2: and nothing to be sorry about I miss a lot too….:upside:

Steve, thank you too:thumb2: and just a little dusting here and there:smiling4:, see below.

When the second gloss coat was dry, it was time to put in the detail paint work mainly the indicators.
Found out this year that a base coat of Revell 90 or another silver followed by Gunze clears give an indicator look I much like so that is standard for me with each build.

After that it was time to put the decals on, followed by a little Dark Brown wash of A.Mig-1005, all over coated with VJ matt for protection.
With the matt dry it was time to remove the masking and then disaster struck….. when removing the windshield mask the knife moved over the clear part…..whoops from now on the crack is part of the weathering.:worried::smiling5:

A thin layer of dusting was applied with VJ 71.323 BS Dark Earth sprayed on, most around the wheels and since the windshield was cracked I made a mask to the wiper pattern and lightly sprayed around it.

Had great help from mother nature this morning with the sun shining, so here are the first set of photo’s:

Will make a second set one of these days to put in the appropriate ''complete'' folder.
Thanks for looking in and have a Merry Christmas everyone.

Terrific build Fernando. I like the hand written stuff. Was that with the kit or done by your own fair hand??
