Tzonglin Wu Hi Stefan, my method is Vallejo gloss varnish + one bit of Vallejo gold + one bit of Holbein black + one bit of Holbein brown. Then spray thinly on the inner side of the canopy.
Tzonglin Wu Thank you all. I wrote a story for this model, but it uses traditional Chinese. If you are interested, I think Google Translate may be able to help.
Patrick Hagelstein Good to see the progress Revell made with their new tooling.

Tzonglin Wu Thank you, Patrick. 313 Viper and ROCAF are both F-16A block 20. Almost the same in the appearance. Taiwan will get F-16 C/D block 70 maybe in 2023. Although I don't like its "muscle feeling", I think that I will still make a 1/72 one in the future.

Patrick Hagelstein Almost..... ROCAF is unique in that it is the only Block 20 user worldwide. That 313 Sqn F-16A was a Block 15 at that time (before the MLU that made it a F-16AM) the only distinguishing feature between a Block 15 and a Block 20 is the panel right at the tip of the root of the vertical stabilizer; on the Blocks 5 up to 15 it is a trapezoid, on Block 20 it's an oval. The F-16C Block 25 had a bigger root that extended further forward and covered that panel. Just some details.
Alex Murphy Good to see kids broadening out from Gundams. I do those myself, and am moving on to Maschinen Krieger stuff soon.

Tzonglin Wu Alex, I try to teach him how to paint using my habitual methods. Although he still loves Gundams, he can use these skills when building. It's also good to play my 1/144 aircrafts with my son's 1/144 Gundams.
Tzonglin Wu Thank you, Dave, I watched your albums, your models are well done. Especially the armored vehicles, I can't make them as well as you. Several months ago, I visited a Norway modeller's website. He wrote that "This hobby is all about fun, not perfectionism". Don't be too serious. Just enjoy the modelling progress. That is what I am thinking.
Tzonglin Wu Thank you all. This Ho-229 was an experiment for me. I painted it with brushes and Acrylicos Vallejo colors. Air brush was only used for primer and varnish.
Tzonglin Wu I love the look and camouflage of this aircraft.
If it can represent the ROCAF flying in the sky in Taiwan, it is a beautiful thing for me.
Although that is impossible......
