Here doing the rivets, side by side with another spit from my colection
![Album image #2 Album image #2](/albums/img/5/4/2/582542-16302-53-720.jpg)
Using RB productions rivetter and pigments to check the progress, all free hand.
![Album image #3 Album image #3](/albums/img/5/6/7/582567-16302-44-720.jpg)
Detailing up some bits
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/5/4/3/582543-16302-60-720.jpg)
The brothers, there are more spits on my stash wanting to join the party.
![Album image #5 Album image #5](/albums/img/5/4/6/582546-16302-25-720.jpg)
Basic paint with Mr Hobby 8 silver very nice color to reproduce the High speed silver paint from the original.
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/5/5/8/582558-16302-83-720.jpg)
Painting some dudes to go along the plane
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/5/4/4/582544-16302-53-720.jpg)
Decals going down with Micro sol and set
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/5/4/5/582545-16302-28-720.jpg)
Rivets showing nicely, but I found the decals do not like to let them show trough.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/5/4/7/582547-16302-70-720.jpg)
Decals down, looking nice
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/5/4/8/582548-16302-77-720.jpg)
Some subtle color modulation showing trough.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/5/5/4/582554-16302-57-720.jpg)
getting ready to receive some weathering, the wing tip navigation lights were cutted of, clear plastic glued in place and shaped to size, than masked for painting
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/5/5/0/582550-16302-97-720.jpg)
Here I did a mistake, I glued the numbers in the same orientation, they should be in oposite orientation, nothing I can do about it now.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/5/5/1/582551-16302-37-720.jpg)
Weathering the plane with some panel line washes from Tamiya I painted the exhaust stains but didn´t like the shape, they looks strange to me
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/5/5/2/582552-16302-90-720.jpg)
Looking some pictures, I saw there were no black stains around the front pipes, and the shape should be longer and pointing down folowing the air flow over the wing
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/5/5/7/582557-16302-13-720.jpg)
This shape too straight and ending abruptly does not show the true.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/6/1/7/582617-16302-64-720.jpg)
Some pictures showing the exhaust stains that I want to represent, note the second plane in the line how long and dark the stains are looking, also we note how it is clean right next to the exhaust pipe, specially the front ones
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/6/1/8/582618-16302-86-720.jpg)
that´s camuflaged and another version but still we can see the shape of the smoke and how dark the stain can be, in this case it ends abruptly.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/5/5/3/582553-16302-98-720.jpg)
So I loaded my airbrush with some silver to correct the exhaust stains
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/5/5/5/582555-16302-17-720.jpg)
Cleaned the area around the exmaust
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/5/5/6/582556-16302-37-720.jpg)
Sprayed lightly the silver to cover the black.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/5/5/9/582559-16302-83-720.jpg)
The exhaust is now reshaped, looking better
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/5/6/0/582560-16302-31-720.jpg)
some pictures show this stain very dark and long, I wanted to do that, the contrast of the camera is not representing the true, it shows too much contrast
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/5/6/1/582561-16302-63-720.jpg)
Some more pigments on the exhaust, some fuel spill stains in front of the cockpit
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/5/6/2/582562-16302-87-720.jpg)
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/5/6/3/582563-16302-26-720.jpg)
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/5/6/4/582564-16302-18-720.jpg)
I though if I should weather the spinner but I like the read so much that I´ll just keep as it is
![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/5/6/5/582565-16302-97-720.jpg)

Thanks Bob and Christian, I have finished this about 2 months ago but still haven´t uploaded the pictures, I'm getting lazy

Nice work, looking at the pilots, the one sitting looks like he is 60 years old!

Thanks all! Dave, I though the same about the pilot, it is the Airfix kit the pilot sitting is the one provide by the kit and the one standing is from hasegawa figure set, I´m still working on my figure painting skills, there is much to be improved.
