Decided to strip the original paint as it dried very streaky. Repainted with a fresh pot of XF53, much nicer finish and lighter dried colour. Onto the tyres

Attempting some pre-shading and weathering. First attempt after almost 20 years back in the hobby. Brush pre-weathering is a mystic art/skill.

Next up, as a break from Armour or another F16, thought I'd give this a punt. Bargain £20 at Tiverton Pannier Market. Few lessons will be had as I've not done a 'modern' luftwaffe aircraft or paint scheme. Deffo overloading ordnance though.

Latest completed buuild, not their (Revell) best product in the range but not quite the worst eirher. Shame its not the operational version, but it's not bad for all that and at least icon revisit it and possibly add crewmen as the hatches open
