Goodmorning to all

Now in Italy are 04:00 AM and my insomnia leads me to write with a cup of hot coffee..........

As I promised yesterday, I show you pictures of camouflage: is a subject entirely in bleu, I used as a gray primer and after dry a sea blue color Tamiya XF 17 which I have cleared, on panel and worn areas, with a XF18 medium bleu always Tamiya, this to break the bleu monotony.

To highlight the areas most subject to friction with the air, what raises the propeller and areas most dirty I used the same blue background mixed with ocher, an H403 Gunze color but diluted with Gunze Thinner...........small clouds in the appropriate points.

Hello,

it is excelent work. I did´t catch the scale. I guess it is 1/72 Academy. I think very very nice kit. I intend to build it in the future.

I wonder that you had not problems with decals. My experience is that the Academy decals are strong and resistant against the decal solutions (I use Mr Gunze softer)...

Thank you David

It 'true, the Academy decals are thick and hard, I immerge in in warm water and after placement I use Micro Sol many times

until the right balance
