This turned out very nice. I think the weathering looks great 👍. I will have to try that blackbasing, although not sure how well that will translate into 1:72 scale.

Yeah, the tonal variation in the paint, paint chipping and the prop show quite nice, but the streaks on the underside are more pronounced in real life. I think I was thinking faster than I was typing 🙂

I think you might be able to get some nice effects with blackbasing in 1:72. The biggest challenge is to spray small, from real close (around 2 cm from the surface), low pressure, really thin paint and patience. When I get into the zone I can do the whole airplane, but it takes almost all day. So it helps when you break it into sections. Although, it might be easier in 1:72, because you do not have that much to cover 🙂 Anyway, look up "Blackbasing 201" on youtube from Doogsmodels. It is a great series to learn about blackbasing.

True! I totally discovered blackbasing and I build predominately 1/72. But I have to yet try it to an airplane that has such small panels as this Jug. Looks incredible by the way! 👍

Spray small and patience... hmmm, NOT my strongsuit 😄 It does look great, I must say 👍
