Bright, or too bright?

The red decals looked to bright, shiny, and like thick plastic. So, I have tried tone them down with a dilute light grey wash, over all (except for the engine covers, which are shiny painted metal panels).

I need to re- visit the undercarriage legs. I've tried to add definition to the engine.

I chose not to use the decals on the tail, and painted it. Perhaps I should have done that on the wings too.

I'm still not 100% happy, but toning down the red decals was a step in the right direction, Villiers.

I like your Kaydet, looks very good to me. This kit is in my to do list too, I will hope I get a such good finish as your model.

Many thanks, Marco. Next time, I would take more care to ensure the decals conform to the ridged fuselage sides. I would also paint the wings' red stripes. Have fun with yours, too 👍
