Sensational. Primed with AK Interactive white (AK759), then surfaces cleared of dust and imperfections by polishing. Airbrushed with gloss coat, then re-polished as necessary. Finally cut and applied PC and CDL linen effect decals from 'Aviattic'. Mike 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
