Gareth WindsorThanks Clifford. The day's I've had off I'm either teaching (making sure my son does his school work) at home or my wife wants something else done around the house! So far I've removed a wall, built a fake oak beam and fitted it, stripped the tile from the kitchen, put up new tile in said kitchen, clean the garage, cleared and decorated the basement and cleared it again new light fittings in the basement and kitchen......
It's all making this "quick build" go on for months.

Gareth WindsorDecals are on and I've discovered mixing Mr Color self levelling thinners in with the floor polish. Oil wash next.

Gareth WindsorYes Clifford, I'm making her a little bit of a dirty lady. Not entirely realistic as USN aircraft were kept pretty immaculate in this paint scheme. It was the introduction of the radar absorbent matt paint (which absorbed bloody everything) that we see the heavy weathered, dirty aircraft.

Clifford KeeslerThis is very true. I have a Monogram 1/48 EA-6B, watching your build is making me want to build mine. LOL.

Konrad -Very nice build so far Gareth! Joining a little late but followed this one very closely and I'm looking forward to see the roll out of this beautiful plane 🙂!

Moritz FentzahnThis veteran came out great, I was a bit afraid, when I saw the pic with the wash applied, but now the weathering is on point 👍👍

Gareth WindsorThanks everyone. She will be hanging on my son's ceiling shortly.

Gareth WindsorI bought some water colour pencils (pretty cheap for a pack online). I did a little weathering on the fuel tank and some boot marks across the top of the plane. I didn't go too heavy. Thanks to everyone's lovely comments through the (rather longer than it should have been) build.

Gary KitchenHi Gareth. A stunning build. I love your blurred backdrop hack. Simple but really effective. Will defo be copying that at some point I the future. 👍

Gareth WindsorNo David, it's "4FX Dioramics Aerial Blur Model Base". It's from Australia. Just had a look on eBay again and I don't remember the postage being so expensive. Post was 3x more than the card.

Agustin PrellezoI can not believe that amazing result coming out from a Matchbox kit!!!

Roy McKayBrilliant result don't know how I didn't see this before. I'd like to ask a question about the red airbrush in your photos. I have one of these but the needle seal was apparently some kind of jelly and disintegrated on first use. Do you know a source of spare seals for this make? Thanks, Roy.

Gareth WindsorThank you.
Roy, I'm afraid I don't. I've used SprayGunner for a few things now and eBay seem to have a few sets of airbrush seals, although they may take a little time coming through from China.
