Thanks for such nice comments. This was my first attempt with photoetched parts as well and I'm not sure yet how I want to make this black more irregular. That's why I used this sand paint to make some difference before I put another layer of Night Black from Hataka. Right now I don't have place for airbrush and paint booth, so only paint brush is allowed 🙂

Lots of different shades(I know) of black.Different varnishes as well.

Following with interest too. I have an airbrush but I use lot of brushes too 😉

As an old Padawan, I'll be watching to see what happens with the hairy wand! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Thank you all for your kind and encouraging comments. Really appreciate.
Looks like the sand colour was not good for making shades for the final layer of Night Black 🙂 I will experiment with this on next night/black plane model. Right now there is about 7 layers of black paint and one layer of sand-like paint. Slowly I will finish this one.

Unfortunately varnish was not shaken enough and I got this "snow-like" things that I don't know how to get rid off. I wasn't sure what weathering I want to make on the plane, but I think that winter one is not I even taken under consideration 😉
Also when I start getting of the masks from canopy my magnifier glass collapse and break wheels of the plan... Really bad luck today. Looks like I will need start second project and paint second Hurricane the same way, as I really want to have this night ops Hurricane in my collection. At least I know now, that all the painting job inside cockpit are unnecessary as it is not visible via closed canopy.

What about trying to remove the last layer using a super fine polish?

I tried, but this snowy something go so dip, that I failed. And its blurry everything underneath so looks even worse then before sanding. Lesson learned - shake your spray varnish very well before apply, unless you want to have this snowy effect 😉
