Catching up with your build(s) Rick.  The Salmson camouflage is
just superb, my friend!  The Silly Putty worked a treat and your
paint/aluminum mixture is spot-on.  We should all do so well!
Very, very pleasing and I am looking forward to the next pictures. :D

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Going to be a beautiful model -I like the slightly metallic tinge. Not too pronounced, but just noticable enough. :)

.....and +1 here as well Rick. You've captured my interpretation of the silvered effect very nicely, looking forward to seeing your shading magic!

That camo is absolutely perfect, Amigo!  I'll definitely follow your formula when I get around to doing mine.
Cheers,

Thanks to all of the following, I am humbled by the responses! Des, Gregory, Moustique, Ernie, Martin, Patrick, Jeroen, Justin, Lance, Lukas, and My Amigo Bud! As for the Aluminum and color mix I realize there are some who will not agree with the very slight metal look in the formula. For them I would say that by just using grey in the proportion WNW calls for including the silver, one can get a lighter more grey shade for the linen portions. With a little different sheen to the final finish I am sure it will look great! Again I have merely followed the WNW formulas!

I have begun to apply the Aviattic Lozenge. This is the Best Fitting Cookie Cutter Yet! I used a beige undercoat for the first time for a little deeper color. After all is applied I will post shade/ weather.

Hello Rick,

You did magic on the lozenge my friend! Your bird is magnificent. Two extremely nice builds. You should be proud of what you accomplished!

Kind regards
