That's very nice! What did you paint the body with?

Villiers de Vos
Very nice work.

Stuart
Thank you both for the encouraging words. I used Vallejo Model Color with the following ratios:
70.842 - Gloss White = 10
70.808 - Blue Green = 4
70.961 - Sky Blue = 2
I then thinned for airbrushing.
The finish was Vallejo Acrylic Gloss Varnish- 28.530 it is one of the most forgiving gloss finishes I have tried.

This is my second model attempt since I was a kid and I am still learning airbrushing for the first time. Needless to say my first model back wasn't that flash, lucky it was a cheap one. Thanks again.

Robert Barkoski
That's a very nice finish and a custom color. Bravo!

Stuart
Thank you

Bavel Cat
Wow! The color is cute. Are there any photos of the interior? Very interesting!

Stuart
Bavel Cat it was very difficult to photograph and a little average but I managed to get a photo of the interior for you. My lesson is learnt and I will photo before securing the body on next time.
