Errm .. ignorant what is zee blue filter thingy all about ?Very nice model Mike. Like the engine. Any chance of a closer look at the engine ? Shame to miss all that work.

Laurie

Filters are used to bring out colour in various intensity's, so if you spray say a blue plane as per the wild cat, and just weather it, it will pro-dominantly a blue mono tone colour weathered, using filters and not just blue filters, reds and browns work well on different panels allows for the colour to vary, as on a real one, hope that explains it all be it very short in description, I didn't want to boar you to much.

Amazing, the paint wear around the canopy and 'pit is really nice.

Love the engne and overall finish! Good work!

That engine is extraordinary. The different colors of paint and weathering make this engine really stand out. I sure could learn a lot from your subtle use of washes and filters. Keep the pictures coming of future builds as I enjoy looking at quality builds like this one. Thanks for sharing!

The best thing I can say about this model is.....................................I would happily use it as a reference for any Wildcat I might build in the future. Great job.
