Looks like a great project! Good Luck!

Thanks! But being 59, and having spent a lifetime building RC models, I’ve been around a bit

Finally completed my first build. I learned a lot!

Actually, those are Stealth Flasks. :)

Pre Weathering.

Yes I did prime, I used Vallejo Surface Primer. Grey. I painted with the Vallejo Air USN WWII colors. Also, since I plan on clear coating with with the Tamiya X-22, I ordered some Tamiya thinner. I have Vallejo thinner, but several things I’ve read/watched recommended matching the brand of...

Thanks, I was wandering about that too
