JohnLooking nice. I have the same kit, so thank you for taking all the pain of sanding and putty so I can see where the fit issues are!

Giorgos AuthorThanks guys! I'm getting ready for priming and pre-shading...
@John: It's been a real pain for my skills, patience and available time... I'm lucky I've already built the Mirage F.1B from KH some years ago, so I more or less knew what to expect.

Michael KohlThe paint job did not disappoint. I think you are damn close to the desired effect.

JohnImpressive work on the camo. 👍 Sorry to hear about your airbrush, but as for the rest, congratulations! You have definitely been busy.

Giorgos AuthorMany thanks guys! I think I need to start practicing my wash skills shortly...
@Michael: Be sure there is a lot of improvisation here 🙂
@John: Glad you like it. About the airbrush, would you believe that I actually ruined it while trying to clean it? So stupid of me !#$%$@@^&^

JohnTurned out beautifully Giorgos. 👍 I like your modulation of the camo tones. Did you do oil work on it and if so, can you go into some detail on it? I'm trying to develop my skills in doing that with oil paints.

Giorgos AuthorMany thanks guys! Glad you like it!
@John: To be honest, there is a great deal of improvisation here, as my skills lay well within the early stages of the learning curve 🙂 I indeed used oils, with gray-green-black variations. I also used enamel washes with black and brown variations. But I cannnot say that I did it following a specific plan. I rather imitated what other mates demonstrate 🙂
