Thank you guys! I really appreciate it. I'm slowly getting more into this Hobby. I would look at other people's builds and think wow those looks so good and I used to frown at PE and frown at lighting up something and wire up an engine? Sounds like a lot of work and besides I don't know how to do it. Well that's all in the past the more you do this the more you want to get better so I'm going to build this zero model from borders and wire up the engine among other things I will probably post pictures of the build as I go because I don't think this is going to take long. Not like that helicopter with all the hand holds and antennas sticking out everywhere. I mean, you don't know how many I broke off and had to reglue that's why sometimes you'll see something that should be there but isn't but I'm not a stickler. I mean it's just going to go up on a shelf then it's going to go in a box and it'll sit there until my son opens it up and says hey this is cool and then he gets into all my thousands of dollars of hobby stuff. By the way. I don't know if Andy advertises this but every once in awhile he comes into a collection and right now he has hundreds of model car kits at his North Phoenix store

One thing I would suggest is a very light drybrush coat. A light tan or a similar color with a wide, soft brush with almost no paint left on it. Gently brush the model to highlight the handles, bolt heads, etc. Around the cockpit glass maybe a very small brush and alot of patience to highlight each bolt head......
But it's really not necessary as it looks pretty damn good as it is, well done!

Thanks man. I forgot to do that. I was fiddling around with oil washes and panel line stuff and just totally forgot about that.

Nah man. Think nothing of it. Think of me as a sponge. I need to soak up how to do knowledge as much as I can. Yeah I think if I do a very light tan wash over the whole thing it might look better more like it's dusty. It's going to have to wait cuz I'm already into my other project besides that oil paint should dry for at least couple daysI think that light tan wash behind the rear cockpit looks good, it just needs to be more widespread or less obvious at that part.
This is only nit-picking, and only because it was requested. As far as I am concerned that is a GREAT looking air-beater
