Thanks guys!

The panel lines are thanks to the 'Dark dirt' clay-based wash from 'Flory Models'.
This model was the first one I've tried it on, and I really can't recommend it enough - great stuff.

All finished, but I have to admit I'm not too happy about how dark Tamiya's Olive Drab (XF-62) has come out, I'll probably mix in some light grey next time to lighten it up a bit, though looking at the finished 'Jug', the dark shade does suit it.

I also did some paint chipping with a silver pencil, along the leading edges of the wings and prop blades - another first for me, I tried to be subtle about it, and I think it's worked quite well.

And now I look at the lower side pic, I see I've forgotten about the light lens near the port wheel-well.
I'll sort that in the morning, and do another underside pic for the 'finished' gallery.

Fantastic! The chipping is nicely subtle and looks especially good on the prop
Best wishes

Yes I was especially impressed by the weathering on the prop. The rest of the kit ain't bad either. :lol:

I do prefer the look of the razorback jugs.

Thats a very nice job on that Carlos. For my underwing light, I painted the recess silver & then held the lens in place with a drop of Klear, result is a nice clear lens. I really like the way your paint turned out, your chipping looks about right, not too much, just right. :)

That's a cracking build carlos. A typical Jug.
