Great job, Carlos.  What paint did you use for the PC12.  I love it.
Cheers,
Bud

It was actually Vallejo Flat Brown, not Tamiya(apologies).   Used Allclad Semi-Matte lacquer for the overcoat.

Very nice clean build! Makes me think more seriously about getting one of this kits, in some near future.

Great looking Tripehound Carlos!

Are there any pitfalls along the way I should be mindful of? Mine is in the pile, just waiting to go.

Cheers,

Chris

very nice tripe, like the finish and overall appearance. i really like the subtle scratches on the prop. a lot of guys forget this when they weather and leave a pristine prop. it is a very nice kit compared to the roden which i have as well. they really caught alot of details and the typical wnw rigging points really look like they will help. this is one thing with the roden that was a miss. they could at least mark the rigging points especially the one in the middle of the center wing that passes thru. you have to just about rig the thing to find the spot you need to drill. cheers on your lovely model.

Carlos, nice job. A very clean style like what I strive to do.
We should do a forum data base for Vallejo.
i.e pc-10 = brown violet
I've been brush painting vallejo's in an effort to stay away from enamels.

Carlos,
     I recently tried my new Alclad paints and was lamenting that they rub off or wear very easily, didn't realise that they have a clear overspray in their line until I noted here that your final finish was their semi gloss clear which I havn't seen at the two shops I visit. Question; did you spray directly over the decals or use another finishing coat first? I'm a little nervous about damaging decals with a lacquer overspray. I'd like to order some clear finishes but would appreciate your opinion of their suitability first.
Cheers,
Lance
