My latest. The Tamiya kit, with a few resin goodies: Stanley Yankee seat by True Details, gun barrels and rear cockpit boot enclosure from Quickboost, Caracal decals. The exhaust stains are thick enough to write in, I know. This was my first time using AK exhaust wash. At first, I tried applying it by brush and diluted with mineral spirits but all that did was eat up the dull coat. Of course, I thought of airbrushing the stuff next, which I should've done from the start. This wash is nice stuff, it goes through an airbrush so well and lays down so smooth. Since I was trying to cover the damaged spots of clear coat anyway, I just went ahead and laid it down heavy. Somebody out there might well dust off the old chestnut 'no crew chief would ever let it get that way', but whatever.
I'm also taking the opportunity to exercise a few pointers somebody here brought up not too long ago about taking better photos. Specifically, cleaning up the background of cluttered details and using more light. Not much better, but then I'm doing this all on a kindle.
