Did a bit of post shading but you can't really see it now that the camo is going on.  Too much pressure on one spot on the fuel tank which will need to be fixed with some stowage or a repaint.  Another couple of hours drying. Do the tracks and then give this a satin coat before some panel lining and weathering.

Having an aircupboard does improve the drying speed.
Satin Varnish dry so can get the panel lines done

Are the panel lines done with a "pin wash", Si?

Yes. I use a lighter colour than most people and use a dark grey enamel wash (AK Wash for Afrika Korps vehicles). It isn't as stark as some colours. Leave to dry for at least 10 minutes and then clean up with odorless thinners.

Thanks for this, Si. I'm always interested in how other people (who generally do a far better job than me) approach these things!

Nearly, nearly there. I haven't made the hatches yet or found a command figure.  But good enough to put on the table in the meantime.  Radio aerial and tool details to follow once this has a coat of matt varnish.

Very nice!
Are the green and brown oversprays done with an airbrush or brush?

No filter, and no overall wash. Panel lines, rivets etc only and an oil fade I left the oil fade for the streaking as well as I didn't want to overdo things
