Nice detail, Siskin!  Love the Lewis and mount.  That's going to look super cool.

Cheers,

Dan

Let's go! Started painting, I used acrylics from Tamiya, a mixture of aluminum-brown-gray.

Beautiful paintwork Siskin! The preshading is spot-on.  Excellent job
of the engine.  What paint did you use for the exhaust manifolds?
Nifty little wooden holder for painting the wing. 8)  I look forward for
the next updates. Good work!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

In fact, the engine paint is very simple - first automotive paint nitro silver, then supermetallik from Gunzе (№ 215 and № 217) exhaust manifolds. Then pour the entire motor washing it - black (Tamiya enamel) and drip oil (MIG).

Excellent results so far Siskin, the wood grain and pre-shading is very well done and your weathering is superb.
