Update 2: The fuselage is now painted in primer colors and most parts are ready to install.
Update 3:
- Gloss coat with future for applying the stencils.
- After applying the decals, i used a flat coat of Humbrol varnish to seal the paint job.
- Then i started to build all the possible details that Revell made for this kit:
- I painted the engine parts with several different colors from the Alclad range of metallic paints. I also used Tamiya flat aluminium around the body of the engine.
- With so many details, i decided to display my model on a base. I used a large polystyrene sheet, ascribed the concrete details and painted with some artwork acrylics i found on a store close to home so i would not waste my expensive model paints on the base.
Next you will see the finished work. Stay tuned!
