That fading effect is outstanding, how did you do that ?

Thank you. Reverse black basing I call it. I'll explain with the RAF green, it's first sprayed lightly as it comes from the bottle. Next it's lightened with XF-57 Buff then marbled it in over straight green, pating most attention to center of panel lines. Then go back and marble the straight color again, paying most attention to panel lines. I try to make it random. For the blue grey I used white.
Can you fly this plane and land it? Surely you can't be serious? I am serious, and don't call me Shirley

What I find most interesting is the speed at which you build yet you put all this great detailing, paint and weathering into these little gems. It takes me months to achieve something even remotely close to this.
Thanks buddy. I hope you are doing well.

Thank you Lyle, agreed, particularly these early marks. I'm not a fan of anything above the MK.IX, as they start to get stupid looking.

Thank Stik. They did sometimes, especially at the wing roots. I'm still working on this technique and wanted to try it on something not Japanese. I dragged a Hasegawa Mk. V off the shelf to build out of the box. I supose I'm curious to see how it holds up to the newer uber kits.
