Well done! Love the paintjob and the subtle weathering - looks very realistic to me

*wow* your painting work is gorgeous. I would not mind some pointers. How do you do such amazing work? Do you have any tricks you can share?

Wow, that is so kind, if there's something specific I'd be glad to help but there are many better than me on this site. All I can say is thin the paint , lots, then thin it some more. It gives much better control on the coverage it just takes more passes.
I have a cheap (£20) Chinese rip off airbrush , which I use for. 90% of my work. I also have a brand new harder and Steinbeck infinity cr+ which unfortunately rarely sees the light of day.
This model was done with the cheapy
I'm sure the finish would be better with the cr but I'm comfortable with the knock off.

Gorgeous indeed. Makes me want to finish my FGR2, Well almost. I've put my desire to carry on with 100 plus decals in a box somewhere, and cant find anywhere 🙂

F4 decals can be a pig, most USN stencils got overpainted in theatre …. So I can leave off what I want and claim accuracy… go on prove me wrong ..🤣

LOL, you are right David H
@Mr James, 100 stencils? Not bad, but there are F-4 sets with a looooot more, believe me 😉
