This is looking superb and, as Adrian has pointed out, the pre-shading is very tidy. I also like the care and attention put into the filling with masking tape being used to protect the surrounding areas. This cockpit is going to look amazing when the canopy is fitted.

Thanks Allyne,btw really like the video in your sig!

Adrian thanks I practiced a lot on some scraps before I trusted myself to attempt it.

Appreciate the kind words Richard,would a wash be in order over the top or should I leave it? I'm thinking the wash might be too much on top of the preshade just not sure?

Shes on her feet for the first time

I would just add the wash around the panels that are opened alot like the engine, fuel and control surfaces. But it's still looking great Trey. I have three 110 G4s to make (all revell kits) and really want to do one now

That looks really nice. I'm with Allyne,a bit of a wash around access panels etc,just to pop out the detail.

Cheers

Very nice so far, I also like the detailing in the cockpit.

[Guest]

Great work on this one so far mate. The camo looks so realistic. Great job.

thanks Allyne and Steve really appreciate the input!!Thanks Basher and Kressy.

I took the advice given and mixed up some light dirt and black Promodeller wash with some ground burnt umber pastel for the first wash and hit the control surfaces and engine nacelle areas.

next after the wash dried I hit the cannon and exhaust stains with some thinned flat black followed by an overall coat of dullcoat.

I then ground up several earth tone pastels and dry brushed different pigments in high wear and prop blown dirt accumulation areas

I would go with a wash Trey. The preshading should give just that, a shading to the area of the joint but the wash is a very clearly defined line to show up the panel joint afterwards. The two techniques should complement each other. If you are unsure start with a lighter colour and very low opacity in a small area to see what you feel before committing to the whole model.

Beutiful job Trey, outstanding as usual, well done.

thanks Andy!

That looks terrific! Nice job on the weathering,the exhaust stain looks good,those engines certainly made a mess when run at combat settings.

Cheers

Smashing job Trey. Love it. *****

[Guest]

thanks Steve I thought I might have gone too heavy on the exhaust ,thanks Adrian

I had some misgivings about the diopole support ,the kit just has them flush glued to the nose. I know from past builds this would'nt be strong enough with all the tweaking required to get the antenae to line up. I know it might take away a bit from the appearance but this is my fix.

some stretched sprue was glued to the supports and then sanded as much as possible to blend it.

then painted,while the paint dried I marked off and drilled the mounting holes

hopefully this will do the trick ,just have them dry fitted for now

Stunning Trey. Loving this build
