Back to the Bench. Sprayed Future for the application of washes for 30.5cm Howitzer. Using the Tamiya pre-made washes for the first time. They are convenient, mineral spirits based so it has to be applied over an acrylic gloss coat. I started with the black and some gray, put some rusty brown on it. Looking a little better in places.

This fell to the effects of gravity one day awhile back and was almost binned to the forever landfill. Tail wheel broken off, gun barrels damaged, main landing gears and doors broken, antennas and one small door MIA into the Neverlands, Cooler heads prevailed and once the Sheetmetal Werks ended its Holiday strike, work commenced in earnest. The first three are the "Before the Class A Mishap" the next few pictures are show what repairs have been made so far. Tail wheel repaired, Main gears re-attached with brass pins, gun barrels re-attached but improved on appearance, Fuel tank repaired and missing supports scratched, a spare door from a Friend is in route. Plans are to fix any seams, scratch antennas and such. Debating on removing all markings and do a new scheme or work around them probably weather a little more than last time.
