Thank you to all for following along, it's about to go places I haven't been before! :pinch: I did some detail painting and added some random chips.
I used the Chips Easily method https://www.modelersalliance.com/forum/sprue-u-tips-and-techniques/78152-chips-easily Seems easy enough?
In studying the picture I'm using for reference, it appears there is some zimmerit on the engine skirts. I eyeballed the pattern and then made some reference lines for my home grown zimm.
I mixed up some Aves Apoxie Sculpt and got out my brand new Tamiya zimmerit set!
I spread a thin layer of Apoxie Sculpt with the tool, repeating at each reference line. The black one is the other side skirt, I did that one freehand.
This was a lot easier than I thought, guess we'll see what it looks like dry. The extra is going to be knocked off as the scuplt dries.
hmy: I'm going to go back to the bench, more later. Thanks for watching!!

Thank you, gentlemen! Those comments make me very happy! Here's some of what I was up to last evening.
This morning I got up early to beat the heat, shot some paint on the cured zimmerit panels.
It's a little easier to see the pattern with the paint on. More tracks and maybe a little assembly today??

Thank you, my friends!! I appreciate the kind words, makes me motivated. Last update for the weekend, there's a ton of small parts that have been painted and a run of Friuls built. I installed the skirts and decided to add the decals.
I did get the decals to snuggle over the zimmerit, several applications of Solvaset did the trick.
I'll let this dry overnight and then add another clear seal coat in prep for the washes. Thanks for looking in! :drinks

Looks like the decals laid down nicely, the concrete chipping is spot on, good job Mike!
