Should get the color coats on tonight. This is the first time I've ever tried pre-shading. It's kinda fun. I'm also using someone else's technique of painting the top colors over silver to have a more realistic paint chipping effect, the invasion stripes will look freshly added though.

Nice work Josh, have you rescribed all the panel lines? I look forward to seeing the weathering on this one given you are going down the all over NMF before adding the camo route.
Josh, Great job. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
I only re-scribe what I remove when cleaning seams. I use an Xact-0 blade to fill in the gaps and it leaves a little ridge. Blends in with the raised lines pretty well. For the lines over the top of the fuselage, I simply roll the edge of a razor blade from one side of the fuse to the other connecting the two lines.
Looking good, Josh, looking forward to seeing how your invasion stripes hold up because I will be using the same technique on my Wildcat V.
