Rope looks too new to me. I did dip it in tea but I think I need another extented dip. I did some filter work on the frame as well

Pete, I am not trying to pressure you to get extra stuff...far from it. Just sharing few goodies available for this kit.

Hi Pete. sorry to hear about your wife, let us know how she does. if by any chance you want to add some details in your 60, Werner's Wings has front cockpit and cargo sub hunting stuff. Check it out you may like it.

Frame weathering in progress. A lot more to be done on it. I will do a light dusting at the end. I want to do some pigment work but I need to learn how to do it first.

Well that sucks but then again I am not surprised. Will follow this.

Between your car and the helo, I think you re gonna be busy.

Spectacular modeling going on here

Hi Pete, I have been following your build as well and always in awe of what you do with metal. I am using your products on my truck by the way. oliver

Yes you are correct on the color for cockpit and cabin. here s someone building a Bravo version, many 3d detailing. I always liked the Bravo, I should get that kit.

Wow

Thanks Pete, Little progress lately, been working.

Hi Pete, 'bout time you come to the dark side....LOL You can be sure i will follow this. Oliver

Such an elegant plane. Looking good

Ok this part is done, frame is next.

Doors and windows not glued in place yet cause I need to some drybrushing work. I will spray dark yellow dusting once the model is completed to match the windows dusting.

Thanks Pete. Here's how it stands today . Still need to do some dry brush and light dusting. The decals put up a fight, I almost scrapped them but a heavy dose of Solvaset came to the rescue. I did a light filter effect using light ocre, raw umber and white titanium, I was afraid to go too heavy.

Not quite done on the dashboard but here's the first look.

Seats were faded and highlighted a step further. Worked on the doors but they also need a bit more looking at the photos. I am redoing the dashboard since the dials decals did not go down as smooth as I wanted.

Took a while to get all the parts painted Khaki Drab. I am doing post shading for a change. I am learning as I go on this one.

Taking a break from Khaki drab and worked on the tarp, still needs a wash and dry-brushing. There is a good amount of fading to be done with this truck. Trying modulation painting.

Hi, Slow painting process since I am micro sanding after I paint to get the smoothest finish.

Hi, I ended up repainting the frame with Khaki drab, I really didnt like the OD Green.

So I went with the Vallejo OD Green, much less of a headache. This is the second very light coat, so many areas where paint can't reach so will use brush. This looks SO green to me.

Priming continues. I have purchased other OD green colors from other companies. I got the thinner for the AK paints after reading and watching many videos, it works better at very low setting on the airbrush as you can see in the palette however the coverage of AK is very poor in my opinion. I really don't want an uphill battle with the paint that's for sure.
