So on with the build, I'll keep the commentary to a minimum..

 

 

 

 

 

Resurrecting some elderly Tamiya XF-4 (Yellow Green) from the 1990's.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

White Tack to do the wavy camo line.

 

 

 

 

 

Gloss Clear Coat (Tamiya X-22) applied.

 

 

Chosen Decal Scheme (above) and applying the decals (below)

 

 

 

 

 

Semi-gloss coat applied.

 

 

 

First time using a metalliser paint on the drop tanks.

 

 

Last bits ready to add.

 

 

However the P-47D needed to get dirty first and another first - using a Flory Models Dark Dirt Wash for the first time..

 

 

I also applied the wash to remaining parts..

 

 

Final assembly and weathering begins.

 

 

 

 

Finished and the final reveal (and the return of the Shackleton MR.3 Cameo)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Till next time
