Nice build James. She really looks "War Weary". Good job on the figure too.

James,

 Looks great! Your weathering is spot on. What technique did you use around the nose cowl? I remember doing this kit when I was a kid and have been tempted several times to pickit up again. seeing how well your kit came out I may have to give into the urge.

Nicely done James .  Thanks for sharing.

Regards,  Rick

Very nice James great weathering , I almost picked that kit up the other day, now I will.  Did the kit come with the pilot in motion?

Looks terrific.  Very nice work!

Hey Guys, I usually have a reference Photo with my work but forgot to put one here, That will be rectified now.

Hercmech, I just turned down my pressure and sprayed a gloss black in the areas of the powder blowback and around the cowl where the panels meet and are removed as the prop force would blow oil and crud out. add a little silver here ad there to simulate worn and blown off paint.

Reasoned, The figure is from Verlinden. 

So now the reference photo,

"Just add a bit of silver here and there"

You make it sound so easy. Kinda like an old guy I kenw that when asked how he carved such intricate carvings he said' Easy I just take off the parts that dont look like (fill in the blank)"

Looks good though thanks for sharing. You guys are causing my stash to grow.

Hercmech, I just use a very dry brush technic and push on the brush pretty hard to fan it out in all directions, I tey to start at what I think is the center of the wear, so it gets the most paint and kinda spiral out from there and it gets less and softer as you go. Just keep in mind that it is a dabbing method not just a place and move. Hopefully this will help more. Also make sure you have the proper color laid before you start this process.

Yeah, my favorite LHS is going out of business and had this on sale for $8.00, so picked this up too.  Looks like it will have to sit in the stash..... for now.
