You wouldn't want to drink out of it though, it's what I use to clean out my brushes!

Making slow progress on the painting - just a few detail bits and the wing roots to do know.

I'm thinking about the weathering I'm going to do on this - I'd like to do something, even with my lack of skillz in that area. I was thinking of giving it an all over Flory models grime wash for starters, and maybe the reverse-thrust stain on the tail.

Open to suggestions.

Cheers!

Thanks Mike!

It's not 100% by any stretch, but considering how bad the kit is I'm pretty pleased with it. I've actually be trialling the use of a wet palette with this build, it seems to help with the paint flow a bit & again, I've only used a bit of tape here and there - the radome was free-handed.
