I st used hardwarestore alluminium rattlecan spray over grey primer. It comes out quite shiny but with the weathering it tones down rather nice to a used alclad tipe look.
As for the chipping on the cowl, i used the sponge chip tecnique

You are too modest Thuens, your skills on this model turned out great! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Love the look. I tried it successfully on my 1/72 type IX U-boat, simi successfully on a Litorial Class and not so successfully on a plane (don't remember which one, probably because it didn't work out).
I'd like to try it on a B52 or some such AC that shows it prominently.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Great looking!
I know this took a lot of patience but the result is just super.
The stress technique is demonstrated on you tube.
Your stressed skin looks real good. I am not that adventurous yet with my models!

Theuns, I think that it turned out great. The paint chipping on the cowl is very realistic. Do you moind if I ask what did you use for your bare natural metal?

On my 1/24 airfix typhoon it does come with oilcanned skin texture.
On this one I just scraped the indentations with a round blade scalpel, they scribed the lines and did the rivets, nothing complex.
Great looking model. I imagine we may see manufacturers starting do stressed skin. You nailed it - looks great.
Thanks,
John
I just built this kit early this year, it's the Hasegawa kit. Very nice kit and you killed it with the stressed look. Very nice work.

Looks great!the weathering on the cowling is very realistic!
could be a Hasa yes, I just cant recall LOL
If I'm not mistaken, that's the Hasegawa kit Theuns. I had one of these in the stash for years.
This turned out better than "ok-ish" though I can tell you that!!
Love the paint and weathering effects.

I cant recall the kit of this 1/48 Val, think it may be Fujimi.
Not a bad kit but I mostly wanted to experiment with creating a stressed wingskin effect on it, came out ok-ish.
