Gareth Windsor SchrijverThank you. I have to be honest, this was not an expensive model and I had my doubts about the raised panel lines and some of the fitting so I just had fun with the paint. Possibly over weathered but all good practice.

GaryNot yet. Still have a B-17 in the works and just completed a major home project. Didn't want to just jump into it without thinking about the best way to do it. Gary

Kerry COXThey are just so functional looking hey. !
And the surface detail is well presented.
Nicely done Gary
Will it be a ceiling dweller or in his own little display case to 'show and tell' at school. ?

Gareth Windsor SchrijverThank you guys. Kerry, it will go to the ceiling where my son's friends (and my wife) can't hurt it.

Kerry COXI used to stare at the ones my brother built and hung by a piece of fishing line for hours.
Now I do the same with the ones in my display case. :-/

Gareth Windsor SchrijverOk, confession time. This was a cheap gift set that came with paints. I didn't look at the instructions that said to mix the Sand paint with the White to get the right colour. I thought it looked too dark so mixed up the lighter colour and covered the main parts of the panels. After decaling I gave it another light coat to "Sun bleach" the markings. So by correcting the wrong colour it's actually given the finished model more depth and nice weathering.
