What colors did you use? Ralph. Model Master Enamels RAF Dark Sea Grey Dark Green fs34079 RAF Sky type S ANA 610 For the life of me I can't remember what oils I used for tone variation and fading(Dotting)........and then a mixture of brown and black pastel(heavily diluted for general "grunging",sealed with testors dull coat.Get the kit,its fun! I strongly recommend ignoring the pe rigging,and going the Gas Patch turnbuckle route however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodshedwings Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Looks great Guy. My Dad is ex Fleet Air Arm and there used to be a Swordfish parked outside the Chief Petty Officers Mess at HMS Daedalus, where he was based. Fond memories of seeing this, as a kid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_ Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Love the weathering of the camo on upper wings... really does look battered and faded by sun and sea. Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
