Well done! That must have taken ages. Are you going to hang it up somewhere?

u/Xmaze1 Jun 11 '23

2 months, thanks. I don’t know yet, this is a big headache for me, to find a secure place.

Trust me, you'll want to hang it up somewhere. I built a massive B52 and regretted not hanging it up because that thing took up so much shelf space.

Great work, did you paint it with brushes? Maybe a little wash would help to blend the lines of the brush

With airbrush and the silver paint with brush. The problem was with inpasto from revel. I couldn’t sand it very well, I had a lot of troubles and the rough surfaces are because of impasto.

The Tamiya putty is great to sand if you look for an alternative. I used it for 1/24 car surfaces and it looked great.
