Thanks guys. This will take some time, as holidays are fast approaching and I'm doing a double build with another Mig-15 from this box (separate project).

Thanks guys. I'll do the North Korean, camouflage on top and silver in the bottom (it's in the first photo of this album)

Cool chipping, is the fluid to be used under the paint?

21 December 2019, 19:21

Ricardo Reis
Thanks. Yes, it is.

Ricardo Reis
Moved forward with the chiping + salt: the result is not entirely convincing for me... I'll wait a couple of days to see if I like it

Looking really good Ricarod.
Did you use the same color to tone down the base color after applying the salt or a lighter/darker one?

29 January 2020, 07:51

Ricardo Reis
Thank you. Yes, the same color, very diluted, over both the salt effect and the chipping effect
