Outstanding! You did a nice job on the preshading too.

 

It's actually post shading... no preshading was done. Wanted to try something different for this one.

Thanks for your replies...much appreciated! I usually build up the camo in layers, adding a bit of white to the paint and thin it further to get the faded look. The kit came with a camo template that was easy to cut and apply to the surfaces. A bit of Blutac to fasten them and help with the feathering on the edges did the trick.

 

Thanks for the tip. Ah ”layers” my old nemesis

Sensational work, well done.

You nailed the weathering.  That looks excellent!

She’s a real beauty. Despite my best efforts I seem to always get too heavy a coat on the camo. Yours is fantastic! Thanks for sharing

Looks great!

Thanks for sharing.
