Looking very authentic with the patchwork panel effects

That´s very kind of you Jim. I never pictured my Herc looking authentic. Thanks a million!

[Bissyboat]

That looks excellent BB, should be a real beauty when its done.

Thank you David.

Now with a dark green trim.

That is really really nice that - a fab bit of work!

[Andy Dighton]

Very nice. Keep the updates coming BB. I'm enjoying watching this one come together.

Thank you BT. It´s down to being stubborn as a mule and painstakingly patient.

Glad you like it. There will be more to come soon.

Chipping effects with chrome silver/H-11 using a thin brush and occasionally a toothpick. Started off in moderation, but persistence got the better off me and soon enough I went all the way through the rabbit hole. When is it enough? Apparently not until every panel line has some silver on it.

Wow!!! That's a lot of chipping! Nice effect though - that toothpick method works well - I might have to pinch that technique.

What nationality is this Herc going to be?

Thank you Stuart. Be my guest. You can dab or drag. Depending if you want speckles, chippings or scratches. It´s a simple and cheap method.
My herc is British as pork pie. More precisely from RAF 30 Squadron Brize Norton Oxfordshire 2013.

Nice choice - I used to live near Brize (but back in the days of VC-10s and Tristars).
