I think you held back enough. Sure they were pretty when deployed, but they were overseas for a long time and saw abuse. I think the figures and stowed gear could be more weathered though. Maybe not weathered but shaded. Does that make sense? Slight color variations in the helmets for example.

This is what I use, actually cheaper than the artist stuff. It will DEFINITELY prevent bleeding with enamel (Testors) and acrylic (Tamiya X/XF), have not tried lacquers like Tamiya LP. In general I use it next to another masking product like the O-ring above or if you look at my earlier pics...

The new rockets came in, I wanted to start with paint immediately, but it was clear some assembly was required 1st. I'm not sure how clear this is, but shown above is a small bead of medium thickness CA around the perimeter to accept the rocket-nozzles. Only to figure out (after 45+ years of...

Password noted, then clearly obfuscated :-) Nooooo.

Several Texans on here, and even more wish they were. WELCOME!

I've read that it is better to paint the yellow tips first, before the black. I always did the opposite, but need to learn better techniques so am usually trying to do something different. It worked well for the yellow tips, I have to admit, so I went ahead and finished my prop. The gloss...
