    Paul, yes good to see you again. The decals look like a good fit.

      current state of play....



      the MiG wash i wanted to use was complete rubbish......wouldnt flow

      so i made the old standby or black enamel and white spirit........that flowed a little too much and still didnt get the effect i was after.........so got to let the white spirit to finish evaporating then im going to have a go with an oil spot filter, see if that helps it

        Hi Paul
        Looking good to me. Is the MiG wash acrylic based? I have had no luck at all with water based washes although I know many have.

          Looking good Paul. Shame about the wash issues. Vallejo Game colour (not model colour) washes work well in my experience. They are water based and flow really well. I’ve used them quite a bit on my KV-7 group build subject for pin washing and adding depth to shadows. They settle well, drying without hard edges, and are easy to mix for custom colours as well. I found them to work best if I pre wetted the surface with a water and flow aid mix first. Before I used them I used to make my own with oil paint dissolved in Sansodor thinner, again with a pre wetted surface using Sansodor alone.
