December 8, 2022 · in Aviation · · 24 · 0.9K

A kit that gave me no issues at all. Any problems along the way were caused purely by me.

The fit was fantastic and only required the smallest amount of filler.

Primed with Neutral Grey,
Painted with Colourcoats PRU Blue, Medium Sea Grey, Interior Grey Green, RAF/FAA Yellow, Tamiya Rubber Black, Nato Black, Flat Aluminium, Flat White, Clear Red and Clear Green.
Washed with Citadel Agrax Earthshade andNuln Oil.
Weathered with Flory Grey, Dark Dirt and Windsor & Newton oils.
Finished with Windsor & Newton Galeria Satin Varnish.

Thanks for looking,

Cheers,
Alistair
