Really nice finish to your model, Nigel. The figures and aircraft are finished to top level. Overall it's an amazing overall scene.
Congrats,
Gary

Thanks very much Gary!

Agree with all the praise… and I’ve painted that CSM figure - do I see actual letters on the shoulders ensigns on yours? Wow! Anyhow the whole thing looks great and I’ll try your tip on the red as a base as well.
Cheers

Thanks Matt! There are a few letters on the shoulder badge, but only the easy ones (like C and L). The rest are lines and blobs that suggest letters. I was a bit intimidated by the size of the badge but I used a 10/0 liner brush, which worked well, and also a buff oil paint for the letters on the matt badge. The oil paint doesn't dry quickly on the brush which definitely helped. I attached a close up picture which shows more of the badge....

This is just awsome work. Stunningly finished. The Aviattic decals looks great, I`ve always wanted to use it.

Thanks very much! Don't hold back on using the Aviattic decals, they are really effective. Do give them a try.

Thank you Nigel. I’ve just ordered some… Now I’ll have to learn how to use it properly. Regards, Paul
