I did the Tamiya 1/48 Mk1 and it was really enjoyable as well to build. Temptation once you start is to crack on as it's such a nice looking plane. This is a good one and I assume brush for camo ? I'm torn between brush and airbrush for this sort of camo and have tried both. I think I prefer the brush approach as a nice informal pattern can be done, with airbrush for primers and base coats.
HI Pete good to see you building again an a very nice job you have done to good on SWMBO to march you straight into this to get the ole grey matter tickin over again

Hi Pete
That weathering has work very well. I think Richard F also favours water colours for panel lines.

Cheers Jim it's the first time I've tried it out, as Andy had a good result thought I would have ago, I'm pleased with the outcome, I knew there was someone else who uses this method but couldn't remember who.

Jim is right Pete. I'd love to take the credit but I blatantly stole borrowed the idea from Richard. Looks good though and something I'll be using again in the future.

Hi Andy I couldn't remember who did it, I just remembered you trying and thought I would give it ago it's a bit heavy on the under side might clean a bit more of.
