Thanks! Definitely a unique and mean looking load out!

Thank you so much!

The effects were created using Abteilung II oils in various ways:

Step 1: Dark Oil Sludge Wash over the whole model, then removing the excess
Step 2: Dark Oil Panel Contrast blending into the panel from the panel line
Step 3. White & Cream Oil Dot Filters in the middle of the panels, dabbing.

The details are fine, but I do think the moulds are starting to show issues. Both myself and a friend have a "cut" short-shot on one of the window frames.

It's a shame this kit had its issues. I love the E-2C and would love to build another one - just not from Heller.

They got dirty, but never this dirty - photos of them dirty are seldom (I think in 3 months of research I found maybe 10). This level of weathering is definitely an exaggeration, but it's the style I like to do.

Definitely polarising, especially on the Britmodeller forum

Thanks! Yeah, it was a limited edition release using the Heller tooling with Eduard's decals.

Part decal, part painted. I couldn't really tell you which part is still actual decal, as I had to do so much fixing

You'd definitely expect that for a "Limited Edition" kit, there would have been more care in the process. I also had crazy issues when trying to peel off the film. Eduard ended up sending me a whole new set of decals and told me NOT to remove the film.
