Stunning painting and weathering!

Jakub Chlodek
Many thanks!

Doubtingmango
Fantastic! Those don't even look like decals

Pietro De Angelis
Fantastic Spit!

Jakub Chlodek
Cheers! Thank you!

Jakub Fiala
Great work! I especially like fading of camouflage colors 👍

Harald Besold
Great models - very well done!

Giannis Kaltapanidis
Great work. Did you use smoke on the canopy?

CaptGPF
Thank you everyone for your likes. 😀

Harald. I put the two side by side to show the differences in the paint. It was an eye opener to see how there was so much variation on such a color!

Giannis, I used X-19 + X-24 using a 5:1 ratio. Perhaps a 4:1 would have worked better. I'll note this in the pictures for reference.

RichardL from this forum deserves the credit for the Have Glass mixture I based the new build off of - arcforums.com/forums..70-who-got-it-right/

gorby
Very nice work!

CaptGPF
Thanks Gorby!

Mr James
A great pair. Lovely finish on these great looking fly birds😄

Neuling
I agree with Mr James!

CaptGPF
Thank you, Mr James / Neuling - it means a lot coming from the two guys I am always drawing inspiration from!

Markus Helmers
Great build! Love image 26! Such an insane vehicle.

Findus
Sehr schöne Details, das Chrom ist super, welche Farbe hast du verwendet?

nikfrost
No paint used for the chrome Findus, just the bare metal photo etch!

Bozzer
Looks good Nik. Give that shell plenty of time to dry, and you should be good for clear coat 🙂

nikfrost
Thanks Bozzer. I will certainly do that, do lacquers take longer to cure/dry? And no sanding before the clear coat?

Bozzer
Really, it should be dry now, but with the weather we've had, I'd wait until tomorrow. It's supposed to be a good morning? I'd personally check in real light, that you're happy with the colours, and if you are, shoot it with a coat of clear. Check that, when dry, and decals. Then clear coat again, once the decals are dry. Try to cover the body with a plastic tub or something, to prevent dust from settling on your clear coat 😉

Bozzer
Any luck mate?

nikfrost
Yes! Decals and final gloss coat done, just waiting on the final polish now. Thank you for the advice, it's turning out quite nicely I think!

Bozzer
That's looking awesome buddy! Let that clear, dry for a few days, before doing any buffing.
It's usually at this point, I start another build.
However, work is only hours away, and weekend looks like a lifetime away 🙁

looks real nice! I am playing Gran Turismo 7 and this car actually drives nice consider it's age. Now I want one.

Это просто ахуенно

Rui S
Excellent paint job and Dio 👍

Hemingway
That replacement blue door is such a perfect accent. The weathering is amazing throughout. Great work

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work and weathering.

Robert
outstanding work 👍
👍

Gábor Vermes
Huhhh! It's an excellent work, and especially thanks for a non-military theme. Some details like the Stihl, the gloves in the truck or the plastic cans... Very nice, I love it!

Neuling
Inspiring work. Great modelling!

Michael Kohl
Yes outstanding it is - in every aspect.

George Williams
Nice work so far.

Martin Oostrom
I agree

Bozzer
Your masking has definitely improved, mate. Nice job!

nikfrost
Thanks Bozzer! I think I'm getting the hang of this gloss finish also...hopefully.

Mr D
Nice 👍 very nice, the cast texture on the engine looks good, it's the prv V6 is it ?
I had an RC version as a kid .
Will look fantastic when the decals go on.
👌

nikfrost
The cast texture is Tamiya flat aluminium XF-16 very poorly sprayed by me haha, I think it was drying on its way from the airbrush to the surface and kind of built up.

Mr D
Worked well to the effect 👍 Tamiya dries really fast , l use Velejo mostly, l found Tamiya to fast n thickens up in the pot, Velejo doesn't harden like Tamiya n definitely needs good clear coat.
Nice project 👍

nikfrost
I always put a dollop of tamiya lacquer thinner in and two mixing balls, seems to keep it moving quite well.

Martin Oostrom
Seatbelts look really nice!

nikfrost
Thanks Martin, it's always the bit I dread haha

Martin Oostrom
Good job on the internals and the paint looks very smooth

Rui S
A Beauty, allround 👍

Doubtingmango
The birds on the antenna! Love it!

Erik
Great built, wonderful scene and the sparrows are my favourites too. ❤️️

Jan Peters
I agree with all above, very nice indeed 👍🏻

art81
Very nice 👍

Robert Podkoński
Fantastic dio!

Neuling
A masterpiece.

Michael Kohl
I suppose you messed ip the drive train and had to hide it?! 😜
Kidding aside. Nice story and beautiful execution. A lot for details to discover. Excellent paint job and very convincing mud. A real show stopper.

Villiers de Vos
Very nice and clean build.

Neuling
I agree!

Wouter Roerdink
Thanks!

Andrew P
Very nice!

NLAWScametovisit
this is really really impressive finish and texture

Igor Zhuravlev
Oh, it's just the start. Looking at the references, I think I'll have to use a lot of oils

Cristian A
Watching

Alec K
Very cool build, love those worn effects.

Igor Zhuravlev
These are so far coming from the airbrush only. I hope to achieve some more with oils, reference photos show some stains on the primer

Michael Kohl
I gotta follow this

Spanjaard
me too

Michael Kohl
I really like the paint effects you achieved so far. Anxious for more.

Vincent
This looks impressive! Lets see where this is going!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
👀 👍

Giannis Kaltapanidis
Looks so promising! Can't wait to see the final result!

Igor Zhuravlev
Ready!

Danumurthi Mahendra
Gorgeous work on the MIG! Insane level of masking

Neuling
I agree ! Top notch!

Michael Kohl
You achieved 100% the effect I am striving for with my Mig23. Gorgeous.

Spanjaard
breathtaking, wow

Alec K
Outstanding work 👍
