Beware of the files with a red plastic handle and cheap, they're a bit on the coarse side
therefore tend to grab the brass and bend it if you're not careful.

I have some swiss files I use which seem to be ok if you are careful.

The more observant will notice the colour change. I couldn't really see the pattern in natural light at
normal viewing distance so I've taken a deep breath and sanded back to bare plastic, primed and added
the first colour.
Now I need to make another set of masks and repaint with modified  colours to get more contrast.
I probably need my bumps felt.

Couldn't tell. Looks good though.

That's it, reworked with updated colours.
Must admit, I'm pleased with the result.

Yes... looks better to me!

Hi Haddock,
Sometimes 'your own interpretation' is better than any book/reference.
If it looks and feels right...do it!

Yes looks good Tony.

Job jobbed, needs adding to a base with some water but that will have to come later.
Haddock.

Lovely, a very clean, neat and precise job as always.
That hurt.

An excellent job Tony. The camouflage pattern is particularly good.

Another great model - love the paint work
