Coeur d' Alene is a beautiful town, as is this build!

Truly beautiful work, as are the 109 and 190 you made. I love the subtle nature of your weathering techniques.
Cheers, Mark

What are your overall thoughts on the Mission Model paints in terms of ease of use and price point compared with Tamiya paints?

Thanks B. I will always prefer Tamiya paint, but I must say these are great. They nailed the RLM colors and these Navy ones too. You HAVE to use there thinner though, and the bottle (thinner) is small. The paints? they're like 6 bucks a bottle but I forsee them lasting a long time. They can be ordered right from their site missionmodelsus.com. The service is great and they show up fast.
I will continue to use these for my Luftwaffe needs, I just wish they would come out with 70/71 and 65 already. I asked about them and they said they are in the works.
I will continue to use Gunze for my Olive Drab needs though, which is the perfect mix of green and brown to my eye.
I gotcha. How big is the bottle of thinner? Do you find you'll run through it quickly?
You mentioned Olive Drab...I'm currently trying to finish up these mustangs that have been tabled for about a year now. They're practically finished except for some final touches. One of them is a P-51A that JJ England flew and his is in OD. I used it as kind of a project to work out how I'll paint OD schemes in the future. All the ranges of brown to green are fun to make!! I actually just finished it early this morning. So when I get the base cut and put together I'll have something posted.
Again. That's a clean, cool looking corsair! =]
bvallotI gotcha. How big is the bottle of thinner? Do you find you'll run through it quickly?
They offer 2 and 4 ounces. I believe I bought the small one. Indeed it goes fast because you use it for everything. I'm about half way through it. I'd get few bottles of the thinnerI look forward to seeing your Mustangs.
