Mission paints are good for brush painting as well. You do have to thin them and paint in a couple of layers.

Well, I have been a little slack not updating this thread... I had major issues with the kit decals cracking on me. The Dolphin was one of the kits that had cracking issues. I tried to contact Wingnut Wings for some replacement Decals and for some reason they wouldn't supply them to me and then just stopped replying to my emails. Very disappointing ... I managed to get some leftovers from others modellers, but I had help from one person that managed to get a complete sheet for me, which sorted all my problems! This is where things are currently from the last lot of photos I took. I have already started to decal one of them already after 4-5 weeks of a nonsense holdup.

Now that is some really nice work there Dave !

Thats a very disappointing response from WNW given I had success obtaining replacements replacements for my Camel. In fact I received two sheets of decals as I had used some from other Camel kits.

Very beautiful, Dave! Say, how did you achieve the changing hue of the PC10 (12?)?
Rock on!

Looking good! Judging by the overpainted rear deck on one of them, you're going for the Bannerman scheme on that one?

Wow, blown away

Cheers! I normally prime with grey or black and build up the colour till I am happy with it.

Very correct!

[jeroen_R90S]

Nice choice -it's the scheme I intend to do when I get (eventually) to mine!

Well, life has been getting in the way of building. Most nights I have been knacked, so instead of heading to the bench, I've been shooting people on Call of Duty...

Managed to get some stuff this weekend thou! Got everything together and weathered one of the Dolphins. Sadly the other Dolphin died on the bench as I had another sheet of decals crack of me.. Deal with that later! Hoping to start rigging over the next few days.

Lookin good Dave:  The close ups are nice too.  Very clean and well executed.  I am looking forward to seeing how you do the rigging with the model fully assembled.  You must have a "Trick" method.
