Great outcome - I admire people who make 72-scale aircraft and one doesn't notice until actively looking up the scale... 👍 Nice "salty dog"!😉

Canopy glass looks very nice I think. Did you dip it in Pledge Future?

Thanks a lot guys! 🙂 @Treehugger, yep that was Pledge Future. It really brings out the sparkle and protects the clear part while masking and cutting the masks around the canopy frames.

Hans, this was my first try at salt chipping other then adding subtle splotches to camoflage schemes. I had to come back with a misting of the top color though as the difference between the aluminum, zinc chromate and Dark Sea Blue was too harsh

Love your build mate, thanks for letting me know about it as I've somehow missed it earlier!

You're welcome Urban! It was an experimenting canvas for some techniques but you might find some ideas or pointers here. 🙂

I'm gonna try some stuff on my build but you can say that I'll wing it as that's what I usually do...

I love subtle weathering... great balance and restraint on top of a superb paint job!

Thanks Andy! If you need any tips, just holler Urban.

Looks great Patrick. I will have to refer to your salt technique when I build mine 👍
