Meng F35 1/48th

Finished this kit last night, very fun kit to build

The masking set from galaxy is a must it doesnt come with everything though, its missing bits for the wings and vertical/horizontal stabilizers.

Finding paints for this was difficult people recommend MRP camouflage grey but in my opinion it is way to green and way to light, i ended settling on the following mix of paints and varnishes:

30% Vallejo black and 70% Vallejo Camouflage grey for the darker grey parts

15% Vallejo black and 85% Vallejo Camouflage grey for the RAM tape stuffs

I then varnished it with Humbrol Gloss clear coat. ive discovered that the colours darken alot when they are varnished, after a couple coats of gloss varnish i used some MRP Have glass varnish, Its basically a satin/gloss finish with little bits of glitter or metal particles in it
