Kerry COXMike, You have such a great touch with the panel line work.👍
The effect is stunning. AND, How did you get that heavy coating on the bomb effect. That looks great 🙂 🙂 and the decals sets it off beautifully.
Cheers 👍

Michael HickeyThank You Gentlemen....
@Kerry, For the protective coating on the bombs I painted the bomb tail first and masked of. Then I lightly dampened the forward section with water and using a salt grinder set to fine sprinkled salt over the required area. Let it dry completely and then went and unmasked it and then painted the forward section, gloss coat, decals and finally a flat coat to finish it off. A bit of a procedure but I think detailing your weapons and doing the finer details all add up to a nice end result.

Kerry COXMichael, How very creative. 🙂 SALT. ? Mmmmm 🙂
It certainly has had the desired effect mate. 👍
I tried the Mr Surfacer with mine, but way too messy and hard to get the decals to follow all the rough surface, but yours are just spot on. 🙂
