This one took about a month+ of work off and on, but it's finally complete!
I went with a slightly different marking patter from the one seen in Empire. The main difference is the extra bit at the "wing tips" and stripes on the end of the guns.
I used a filter for the first time on this model. It gave the color a more dirty brownish tint. Overall,I think I'll use filters in the future on larger miniatures, but still not of Flames of War (1/100 scale).
Originally, I was planning on shading the canopy with my airbrush. I made the mistake of leaving them as the last thing to do. Masking it off proved to be too difficult. If I were doing it again, I'd paint the canopy first, mask off the window panes and finish the rest of the model. For this one, I ended up painting them by hand.
The decals I looted from a Bandai 1/48 scale kit. The Bandai kit comes with a set of water slide decals and also a set of stickers. I've stashed it away for when the kids get older.
Magnitized weapon options, thought I think most of the time I'll run it without a secondary weapon.
The underside (which nobody will ever see) really shows off the streaking effect that can be achieved with the filter and wash.
Details of the base. I cut the fire arc lines into the sides and painted them different colors. Hopefully, they are still usable this way.
