A little harsh



Looking again for a kit whose moulds were made 52 years ago and not having built a plastic model for around half that time I thing I am being a little harsh with myself. I think some light weathering of the body will make a difference. Now I must read up on weathering techniques.

  1. It looks a lot better with the transfers on. I agree with you on the weathering. One point, I would mask the windows with a piece of card and spray over the transfers with a artists matt varnish...I get it from art suppliers it's used for covering water colour paintings, charcoal and pastel drawings.
    Still looks Good...
