Joe, I don't know how I managed to miss this thread last fall. What a great job you did! The detail is mouth-watering.

Could you refresh my memory.... what color or color recipe do you use for your engine exhausts? They always look so spot on. (I think you told me once, can't find my note).

Thanks Greg. I first coat them with a rattle can Model Master metalizer paint followed by a thinned down rust acrylic and then use a coat of Mig productions dark wash. Lastly I use ground up black pastel just to deaden the finish. So far its been workin' for me.

Amen Mustang. Did you use a mask for those mottles? I know Eduard makes an etched set, but I've never tried them.

Yes sir I did. I used a 1/48 scale PE mottle mask set. They work ok but if I had it all over to do again I would have had a less hard edge on the mottles. I'm not brave enough to free hand something like this yet but I'm getting there.
