Very well done. Sadly this kit is not available in SA yet, and shipping from the UK is crazy expensive, so I will have to wait.

Very nice work Brandon. I love the dot filter effects too. Perhaps you could do a tutorial on how you do that. Thanks for the tip about the wheels too. I may go Ultracast when I start mine, which will be very soon.

Yes Excellent finish!

Slightly used, but not abused. Exactly as it should look.

Another beauty BD. The filtering did the trick for the single color variation

Thanks, guys!

Joe - the oil dot filtering was just a bunch of small dots placed with a toothpick on the plane. I went with yellow, green and white on the topside since Olive Drab has shades of yellow and green, and the white faded.

Then I just used a dry brush to streak it, then one mildly moistened with turpenoid to clean it up a bit. I just played around with it till I got it where I liked it.
