FIGHTINGFOX A few photos of my efforts so far. [[/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] [/img] The Real Model conversion is beautiful with the exception of some vague areas in the instructions and the rear hull plate fitting poorly. It compares very well with the Trumpeter ASLAV-25 kit of which I have included a few photo... tresni Victory Models put a decal sheet out that had both the grey/green and the SEA cam schemes on it, but it is now out of print. I believe the aircraft shown were A/B models that had been upgraded to C configuration so the kit will require some mods to back date it some areas.
Desmoquattro Chalk pastels actually have a much finer grain than pigments if you grind them correctly (I use a piece of fine mesh). But that is their weakness - pastel dust will stick to everything and is impossible to remove, while pigments are easier to control and remove if so desired. HastyP Welcome to the "Big A" Alex!
I am sure you will enjoy this site, always lots to learn and try here. Hope you do well in the contest. I still have a long way to go to build up the courage to enter one of my models.
Cheers
