This is one of hellagood looking Macchi!
Did you used PE stencil for the woodgrain or another technique?

Hi All,

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words. Ssasho0, the wood grain was achieved using RB Productions wood grain stencils. They have their ups and downs, but overall, have become my preferred method for applying wood grain. One thing, I wish Radu would make one that was a bit bigger than the two currently available, so I can cover larger panels without repositioning the stencil.

Everyone keep up the great work,

Dave

Dave, your workmanship is quite exquisite. Your hull is just great.

Great paint, very realistic. It will surely be a modelling beauty.

Pietro, Michal and PrezmoL,


Thank you for the encouraging words. Michael, the aluminum was achieved by first painting the bare metal areas with Mr. Paint duraluminum and then giving them a rubdown with Ushi van der Rosten chrome metal polishing powder. The latter makes a huge difference in the finish.

Best,

Dave

Exceptional painted markings
Did you cut the stencil also for the serial numbers?
