Short up date, lot of work but not much to look at.
Alclad Aqua Clear Gloss and then started adding some decals.
Got to figure out how to fad out the decals, I mean if the paint job is faded, stands to reason so is the insignias and stuff.

Thoughts, suggestions?
Use masks. Seeing as you have already added decals though maybe a gloss coat and then a dot filter then a satin coat afterwards.

Basically I added Buff (thanks Chuck) to my base color, add a drop squirt, another, squirt...and just built up and blended the colors.
Thanks guys, James with my history of masking, think i'll take Chris's suggestion and work with really thinned colors and build them up.

Hard to tell from pictures Bob . Did you like it OK ?

The Alclad Aqua Clear, sure do. Use it the same as you would Future. Why use it instead of Future, well we're still lucky that we can get the stuff. I think the coat is harder also, I notice it doesn't build up and start to run like future would.

That is the ugliest groundcrew there in the background
Sure looks nice Bob. Am going to have to try some of that fading. So is that Vallejo Model Color Buff you use? I didn't see any Model Air buff.

But she's a hell of a worker so back off ok! :smack
That would be correct, the good thick muddy type. :coolio
Actually Ron, I'm taking up Chris' suggestion of thinning out the base coat with some Buff and hitting it. I do wonder if just the thin buff will be enough to fade it, but will probably test it just to see.
HELP!
I screwed up the Aircraft ID number on one side, decal folded under after I applied solvaset, of course that meant there was not sorting it out.
If anyone has this kit and is not doing this scheme please let me know, all I need is the one decal "32" for the starboard side. Remember this is the 1:48 scale kit.
Will buy or trade what I can, pay shipping.
TIA

There's only one set of serial numbers in that kit ?

only one per side.
Hope they let me hot link to the decal sheet.
It's the "32" I need. The other "3" on the sheet is a good deal smaller.
It looks to me they supply enough stencil decals to trick out two kits but not the individual markings.

Thanks Ryan, remember this is a 1:48 kit, think you did the 1:72.
