Nice! Halfway through mine but I've buggered the seem on the missile :-/

Thnx! You're right about the seam. The whole of the surface seems to have some structure on it. I didn't notice until the primer, so I sanded it. This kit was sort of a quicky.

Looks good regardless

I screwed up using Vellejo acrylic on it - not really a filler you can sand - was my first time using it.. Need to edge-of-knife that off and go with my usual Green Stuff then Mr Surfacer combo.

Oh and your green for the launcher is perfect. What did you use?

Klaas van der Wielen
The instructions said Russian Green, so I searched my paint stock. I only wanted to use what I had and by chance I had precisely the required paint, Vallejo Interior Green. I pre shaded the launcher with black and various hues of the interior green (mixed with black or white). Then thin layers of diluted green (mixed with a little white for scale effect). That was the base on which I filtered and weathered and accentuated.

Nice. OK I know they have that at the LMS too.
