To all who followed or commented, my thanks Yes.

That is epic!!

How in the world did you treat the exhausts?

Fantastic...

GoatPants

The first thing I do is apply putty diluted to give a rougher aspect to the pipes.

Paint them with XF-10 Tamiya and with black very dilute paint the outputs of pipes.

Use after MIG pigments Black Smoke and European Dust. A wash with a dark brown, in my case I used the Bitumen of Judea, and finally, at random, Light Dust.

Great GREAT build.  Nice work on the subtle weathering.  That's a perfect balance of grime, chipped paint, and panel shading without going to far.  Very convincing model.

That is just gorgeous!  What did you use for the antenna wire and how did you rig it so nicely?

Mike

I use fishing wire of 0.12 m/m.

I made two holes in the wings and a hole in the fuselage with a drill of 0.2 m/m (the finest I have) and the other in the vertical drift with a drill of 0.4 m/m. I glued the wires after the glue dries passed them through the hole in the drift. I glued with cyano glue keeping the three wires stretched.

I'm just learning weathering techniques.  Can you tell me how you created the wear on the floorboard in this pic?  And also, how did you create the streaks on the propeller blades?  Just amazing.

Thank you all for following and commenting   .
And is finished only missing piece. The sight that comes in the kit do not like anything and is not glued. I'll try to get one in PE.
I hope you enjoy.

Excellent work..I like the results of the Alclad flat (I use their gloss religiously).  I may have to try that out.

Thanks Bvallot and BrandonK.

Glued landing gear, put the cables of antennas and painted the signal lights.

Missing weathering the exhaust pipes and the matte clear on the doors of landing gear.
