Mark Joyce Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Beautiful build, Benjamin! The weathering is fantastic, and nice job on fading the national insignia as well (which many people overlook). Did you freehand the green splotches or use some sort of mask? Regards, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio Garcia Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well done. Great job. I’m just starting Eduard’s P-40E and your work is a good inspiration. Cheers, Tony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Mark Mark, the splotches were masked. I used Tamiya tape I cut the splotches out laid it on the model then painted it. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
