Now that's a fine job on the painting/weathering as well as the build in general. I'm going to have to attempt more techniques in the finishing (painting/weathering) dept.

How did you go about the finishing on this kit? Would you describe what techniques you used to get the end result?

Thanks,

 

I used the salt technique, there are tutorials on it online, this was my first attempt, so I am no expert, it turned out Ok, but  I think I could have made it more contrasted on the blue/grey. And the last weathering was Flory Model Dark Dirt Wash which gets in the rivets and seam lines

A Wildcat on floats? I had no idea. Very well done!

Excellent job!I have heard that the Navy.Even had a Devastator sea plane that Airfix kitted.

I agree, those colors look spot on. And that replaced float looks amazing. The salt technique gives it that "corrosive elements" look. Very nice. I dig the catfish. Very will done indeed.

That is fantastic.  Didnt realize they made a float plane version.  Really nice finish.
