Here is something I am working on apart from ships.

Here is the work I have done so far on the cockpit

All spray work is 50/50  Tamiya and Mr Colour Levelling Thinner

 

Hand paint is Tamiya and Tamiya Retarder  - I am currently building up stock of Citadel paints for future hand paint work as I can get these locally

 

All metallics are dry brushed, again I am using Tamiya  - however I will be using AK Extreme for the main paintwork.

 

The dials are done using in box decals with a drop of Tamiya clear on top - so I didn't have to hand paint them (thankfully)

 

Once I have touched up some of the paintwork - I will do some pin wash weathering (Tamiya again :) )

 

I probably need to do further clean up of the clear part of the gun sight with some IPA  however its fiddly work.

 

I am going open cockpit with a pilot - so most of this detail will be lost

I had to chuckle over the plane featured in the background.   I'm going through a B 17 tangent right now ;)
