  1. Thank you so much Craig, yes I know I should have sprayed a gloss coat over it before the decs - reason I didn't - I havn't got any, but I am sure they will blend in with the flat coats. OC.
  2. I agree with Mark mate - excellent weathering work - really looks spot on. OC.
  3. Excellenty done mate - not the easiest of things to do from scratch. OC.
  4. Evening all, right the decaling is finished ok its silvered a wee bit going ontop of a flat surface, but a few flat coats sprayed over should hide that and kill the shine from the decs, the rear walkway ones got several coats of micro sol and settled down quite nice, so next job after letting the decals adhere is to spray the flat coats on. OC.
  5. Evening all, more progress on this - I assembled / painted and fitted the Six wheels, then next stage is to fit the decals before adding the last of the delicate parts, some of the decals have to adhere to some curves - so I have used quite a lot of Micro Set then Sol to get them to settle down - always a nervous stage seeing them crinkle up while they are shrinking down. OC.
  6. Dont know if you have the link to Bovington? but here is the link - https://tankmuseum.org/ OC.
  7. Another excellent build and another one for you to get your eyes on when you visit the Tank Museum at Bovington, here is theirs - OC.
  8. Just keep at your own pace - back off if you need to - main thing (with all of us) is to enjoy it - also think we discover things about our abilities as we go along. Keep at it mate - is a credit to you. OC.
  9. Evening all, some more progress tonight - I pulled the rear ramp masking off and painted the rear leg area and the edging then added a bit of wash, next I painted and fitted the Two engine exhausts. OC.
  10. That looks lovely Dan - what a great combinations of fine painting and panel lines. OC.
  11. Thank you kindly Alan, yep I'm quite pleased how it turned out. OC.
  12. "I'm Back" So after putting my Hawk on the back boiler - I decided to have another bash on this, if you remember I was struggling with rattle can painting it, so I decided to give it a bash with my airbrush, I mixed up some Nato Green in my airbrush cup with 50% water and started several coats all over my wokka, drying it before turning over to paint the bottom. When finished I also sprayed the tail gate. Think it has painted up quite well.
  13. Folks I have decided to put this on the back boiler - lost my mojo with it. But Im back on another fave - OC.
  14. Thank you for all your imput Dan👍 OC.
  15. Thank you All for the kind help and advice, moving forward and taking all the advice into account - I think my best move is to leave the canopy in place as it might break trying to remove it then re-mask it, I will continue to add the decals and in the mean time get a jar of a clear acrylic gloss top coat and when the decaling is finshed and the top coat arrives - airbrush it over. OC.
  16. Is this the right "Future" Acrylic Polish that people use, it seems to be hard to get over here this is the only one I found in Flea bay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222435349634?hash=item33ca2e1482:g:sucAAOSwuxFYuGv~ OC.
  17. I was a bit hasty and took the masking of the canopy thats glued down - so to finish it off correctly (it needs to be quite shiny) I think I will need to spray over the whole thing after my decs are on, its like a satin smooth finish now but not a high gloss like it needs to be. OC.
  18. Thank you Lou, should airbrush OK I take it? OC.
