Starting up a 1/48 Tamiya He-219. The camo on this one is going to be a challenge for sure. This is a Tamiya kit, so 99% of this will be built out of the box. The only aftermarket items are canopy masks for painting, and photo etched seatbelts. I started out with the cockpit which is pre-weighted. I definitely need more experience working with the photo etched seat belts, those could be better.
I also have painted the flame dampers with a rust effect, I just learned watching a Youtube video. I airbrushed 4 shades of rust color, and thinned down a couple colors making a filter to hand paint staining in various colors. Lastly used a paint brush and tooth pick to flick create small rust specks on the surface to make more convincing. First time I have tried this, came out pretty cool it looks rusty. \m/
