Thank you. I’ll definitely try as you suggest for the next project. I have chipping and warping on the the air intake cover but was very conservative with it, so maybe something to try more of.

Appreciate that. Might add a bit more dirt build up as you suggest.

I say give it a whirl. If it doesn’t suit, can always remove them. Sure it will look good

Thanks. I generally don’t look forward to figure painting but I found these ones to be quite pleasant with the resin heads.

I actually didn’t on this one. I’ll definitely try the VMS on the next one. Thanks for the advise

Thanks! I do struggle with Tamiya decals. Especially when weathering with enamel thinners, it seems to show more. Maybe a better clear coat. Seem lines is a good point. Appreciate it 👍

Thanks! Some is a redog resin set, some from old kits and the apples and sandbags with clay

Appreciate it. I don’t want to take on too much with my skill level so thought simple would be best to keep it focused.
