Cheers Tim, they look OK and the fact it was a cheap kit at a penny under 20 quid I would like to keep it that way really.

Hi Mark
The cockpit is excellent. Nice realistic wear and tear.

Thanks Jim, had a go with an acrylic wash, then the usual silver drybush, tryed the sponge chipping as well which I've not tried before.
All coming together now, little bit of sanding needed here and there but overall fit was not to bad,dry fit of the main canopy and seems a nice fit.
Got it in primer, a light sand in a couple of spots,might go with some white preshade here a there ,I'll try and bring out the panel lines after all the colour has gone on with weathering as there raised and I think that's my best hope.
Mark, I love bling without the shine and whaddaya mean looks ok...bloody fantastic cockpit for just a few planes under your belt.
Looking forward to the paint.
Cheers,
Richard

Hi Mark
Looks great with the primer on. I haven't built that many planes but always felt relieved when the canopy fitted ok.

Thanks Richard :thumb2: hopefully the outside will be OK as well :smiling:
Cheers Jim, it's masking them up that's the real challenge
:confounded:
Just caught up Mark, some great work on the cockpit, it looks fantastic.
Thank you :smiling: :thumb2:
First go at airbrushing metallic, it's now got its main colour on.
First go at figure painting as well,made a start on ones that came in the kit.

Coming on nicely mark. Figures are looking ok too.
Have a look at this thread for a simple technique to get you started on figure painting.... I've found it invaluable

Thanks Andrew, I've got a set of 5 British infantry in 1.35, to have a proper go with so all tips will help ,cheers.
Fantastic work mark , its looking superb . Loving following this as its all helpful stuff for when i get round to starting mine . So far it looks like its been a fairly trouble free build , great for a kit that a lot of people would disregard straightaway because of the toolings age and raised panel lines. Me? I just love these old Monogram kits and raised lines dont put me off , you just need a bit more patience cleaning up seams to try and preserve them . looking forward to the next instalment , cheers tony
Hi Mark
Great looking paint job. Metallics are sometimes difficult. Well done with figures.
