Hi, my newest child












Below all my mistakes and opinions:
a) model was painted Gunze H, MR Surfacer 1200 as a first coat, preshading (which disappeared of course) oil humbrol,
b) gloss varnish humbrol AC7431-BAD choice, unfortunately gunze paint cracked and grey stains were visible on decals,matt lacquer was Gunze H20, which was excellent choice,
c) after i used some oil painst for wash, i tried some dust pigment (desert sand effects) which interefered with this oil wash,
c) acrylic paints allowed me for the first time keep my glass parts clean and free from fog,
d) i didn't focused on little details or mistakes, because i wanted to try some new methods and modelling products, i also moving out so i had some influence od my modeling time and space

e) preovius factor also concers quality of photos (which i also try to improve)

f) this funny sheet on canopy wasn't my idea for the first time but unfortunately windscreen cracred little a bit over CP/G seat during cutting doors...

Comments are welcome

Looks good!  Great recovery from an error.  I assumed the cover was to keep the cockpit from becoming even hotter in the desert sun!

Clear Left!

Hi many thanks for king words.

Like I said i am trying to back to modelling but with new experiences, knowledge and never used produckts so mistakes are unvoidable, but for they aren't anything discouraging for me.

And you are right that sheet on canopy is good shield from heat, dust and dirt.
