A 1:72 scale deck crew figure gives a good idea of the scale of these weapons. Not small.

And just in case you have done something that makes you very unhappy with the results it can be used in the old fashioned way to make flaming airplanes!
Just getting a chance to catch up with your build Craig. This is definitely NOT one that you would want going down in flames.

Lol… I’ve even fallen for some of the sci-fi stuff which I will unveil later on. So many interesting subjects, so little time.

Not sure if he’s up to the task, but this pilot is in the driver’s seat.

This wraps up the panel line wash and weathering. A few touchups needed here and there. Broke a couple of small parts and will need to replace them.

Thanks OC
The ingredients for an oil panel line wash
Lightly dampen a rag with white spirits and give it all a good wipe down (in the direction of airflow)
There are various products one could use to reduce artist oils for the panel wash, but here I chose lighter fluid. Besides being an excellent product to reduce the oil, it contains naptha which dries more quickly than other products such as white spirits. It's a builder's choice, whatever works well for you, use it.

Thanks EG. I learned that technique from a fellow modeler a few years ago. I should have mentioned the metallic colors used were lacquers. Alclad II and Mr Color. The Mr Color copper color was highly reduced to keep it somewhat translucent. Of course the Alclad colors are translucent straight from the bottle. One day I am going to try this technique using acrylics but on something scrap, first. Not sure about getting a translucent finish using acrylics.
I put on all the decals I intend to use on the airframe then applied some Solvaset. Will let them thoroughly dry before proceeding with panel lines detail. There remain a LOT of weapons needing detail painting and decals as well as the landing gear and doors. Fun 🤩
