By all the gods, that is what I call a result! 
Excellent build of what is unmistakably a D-Day typhoon! 
All the best

Measuring my brush against one of peebeep's excellent Scale Rules it would have been 12 inches wide in real life.
Whatever the size, it certainly looks as if I used a broom, which was my intention.

No, each is lovingly painted in Hu53, Acrylic, my camera isn't good at contrast.
Don't know if that is the correct colour, nor do I care much, looks good in the plastic though.
Colin
The green isn't Hu30 either...  |

You are right about the low contrast.....The green looks grand though, is it Hu116?
TIA & All the best
Sgt.S
PS - I often put a fairly thick wash of black over my exhausts before coating with Klear, this helps to make the detail stand out and some of it is soaked into the base-colour giving the impression of soot.

I just used what I had in my paintbox. The green is Revel Aqua Color DunkelGrun 68.
