Quality kit!

No more dark earth on because I wanna keep the shadows,

Next are the green, will mask with panzer putty and start with thin black so I can get the shadows on the green as well.

The dark earth is Vallejo model air, the green will be Tamiya

Will go over it with heavily thinned black to even out some spots

Wow, nice!

Yeah, need a break after this

 

[BeebleBrox]

Maybe too low distinction between green and Brown? The clear coat left some structure at some spots.

Looks just fine to me

Peeled of the liquid mask on the canopy. Will cover it again when applying the final flat coat.

Used vallejos acrylic clear coat to seal the markings, I like it. Just thinned it with water, no hazzle.

Maybe clean and organize the bench while waiting for it to dry, think it will require a few days of curing.

Wheatering

Pigments, some chipping

 

[BeebleBrox]

Its done

Good kit, no issues.

Im pleased with the result. Not that much wheathering.. some metal visible here and there.

Had a little clear coat hell but managed to polish It alright. Some whitish on some decals. The sooth streaks from the engines maybe a bit to broad.

 

[Quaralane]

Looks really good there

 

[BeebleBrox]

Thanks Q!

Nice work on the Lancaster B !
Love the sound of the four engines, one of the last Lancasters flies over my house every weekend in the summer

 

[BeebleBrox]

Thanks!

That must be an awesome sight Beluga!

Great job on such an iconic aircraft. I think your paint and finish work are on the money.
