Nicely done so far.

Wow, I like that a lot. Sharp

This is ion my list to do. Looks real sharp. I dig the camo work.

Cleaned up every squares. It took a lot of masking tape. I painted the roof with Dull alu. A lot more to do on this. I will also paint on top on the vent dull alu as well. Here's how it looks so far. I am gonna let this sit for a few days before I do the next steps to make all dry.

Sadly you might be right about someone rushing to get this painted and possibly being sloppy however, I can't find any photos of the red and white Checkered building being weathered or showing a poor paint job. Spent few hours cleaning the white squares today and red squares are next.

Well, that did not go as planned. Masking the red squares took a while since I had to cut every square to size. The red paint bled all over the white, I think I used an old wide tape roll so it did not stick well. This looks real bad to me so I will try to clean it up. I will have to mask every white squares and respray white. I think making individual squares was a mistake, I believe the door frame and the AC exhaust should have been added after the red and white square job in order to run a clean tape pattern.

Started on the building. i used Tamiya light Grey primer first then some shading in flat black and red brown, sanded smooth before the flat white coat. 2 thin coats of Flat white then applied Vallejo Grey white and sanded that coat smooth. I will let this dry for several days before applying the flat red squares. I did not want to push the shading too much at this stage. I did finish building the gates, I had to make level so extented the poles at the bottom. I will add some signage on the gates and the building as well.

Fence is up.

Started on the chain link fence around the red and white field building. Only a small portion of the building will be seen behind the fence in the corner. This is happens when I start looking at top model shows like the one in Bron...so many talented modelers beside the wood base won't be here for another week so I am stuck messing around building stuff.

Made an airbase sign, I used Dave's Decals to create the sign. i may add chain link fence...still debating on it. I am waiting for the wood base to arrive and I am stuck till it arrives. I got a 3d printed toolbox with the figures so I painted that too.

Hahaha.

Sure looks yellow from here but I believe it's orange.

You know I give up...I can't compete with your modeling talent. This is just incredible to see.

This is looking sharp for sure. You need to do a wash on the seats. nice work my friend.

Spectacular IP. This is starting in the right direction.

Here are the final pieces for the dio.
