Wow Kevin! That looks amazing! You've really done a stellar job on all the little details. I can't wait to see it's final paint.

That is a fantastic looking custom, the amount of time and the level of detail you've put into it shows.
Well Done!

Thanks for the kind words gents! I have put the first coat of XF-60 on it, but I think I cut it with too much white(was trying to get a light hue) and I over-did it a bit. I will probably just use some buff XF-57 next time instead. I am going to give the base coat another go soon, but I have national guard duty this weekend, so unfortunately it will probably have to wait until next week.

Ok, been a busy few weeks away from hobby stuff, but I finally had the occasion to get out to my garage and start airbrushing! Not much in the form of an update, but I hope to get the rubber on the roadwheels painted on tonight and maybe some of the stowage details. then it will be time for some Future and decals!

Hey I like that camo scheme, this going to look great!
Roadwheels I have to admit I've more than once used a black sharpie, But the
last five or so customs.....roadwheels have been painted.

Road wheels are a pain. When I built my Revell M-48, there were 28 of them to paint, along with 20 of the bogie wheels. Very tedious...normandy wrote:Hey I like that camo scheme, this going to look great!

I hear you guys on the pain that road wheels can be. I finished these 2 nights ago, after about 3 hours of effort. Some of that was just taking breaks to give my eyes some rest before they went cross-eyed. An extra annoyance with these is they are overlapped and they are already affixed, which posed some unique challenges. I plan on getting some of the other little details finished and some minor touch up done this weekend and hopefully some future and decals on it as well.
