Very good work! I like all the scratches, dents and holes on and in the panels.

That's an impressive build, lovely paint work and paint chipping 👍 Bugger... now I want one!

Sebastian Meyner
Thanks for yor kind words mates 🙂

The scratches/chipping was done by simply drawing the scratches onto the paint job, before clear coating it. I jused AK's water colour pencils for the first time and I have to say I'm quiet pleased with the result.

@James: Then by all means get one 😉 It's one of my favorite Tamiya kits and is actually one of Tamiyas more affordable kits and well worth every cent 👍

Agustin Prellezo
Good paint work!

Andy Ball
That is fantastic!..."aspirational"

James C
It's tempting mate, but I've got waaaay to many kits to build already. Perhaps when I thin the heard a little more😉

Sebastian Meyner
Thanks mates!

James: there is no such thing as way too many 😄
"...only one more" always goes 😉

gorby
Wow, stunning job Sebastian!

Sebastian Meyner
Thank you Gorby and all of you mates for your encouraging words! With this build I did a couple of 'firsts'. Besides the extensive use of water colour pencils for the weathering, this is also my first (aircraft) build on which I did not use any decals at all. I am really happy you like it 👍

Ricardo Reis
Very nice Sebastian, congrats!

Sebastian Meyner
Thank you very much Ricardo! 🙂

Micky
Excellent work Sebastian, chipping is fantastic and very real!

Sebastian Meyner
Thanks Micky! ...the chipping was done with AK's water colour pencils. I basically just draw the scratches onto the paint job, before the first clear coat. I can recommend these penciles for this kind of work 👍

Micky
