First model ever. Gained much experience. Overall I am satisfied for a first model. Decals from DutchDecal. BigEd II for cargo floor and seats.
Main lessons learned:
- I used a bad quality brush for the entire aircraft. In the end result, the strokes are easily visible.
- I also used brushes for the varnish layer over the decals. It is decent but the difference between varnished/not varnished is easily visible.
- Glue & Decals = NO MATCH (CA glue dripped over decal causing a letter to be faded).
- It may be easier to paint the model not in one go at the end. Props got in the way
