Bert and Boots are hereby thanked!👍 I've studied the reference photos to paint the jet as accurately as I can and I've noticed that most probably the hatches of the front part of the fuselage were roughly given a slap of putty, no paint. I've done one of the hatches of the gun bay and it looks good I think.😄👍

Pictures this close up show the quality of your work... are you going to do those panellines between the machineguns as well?

Here we are now. I had to practice before I got the look from the photos. I'm pretty sure that the putty was dilutable and in places it seemed applied by a wallpaper brush. This jet is so misterious...

Thanks guys, I'm glad I have a chance today to seriously move on with this project.. These decals didn't need overpainting. Next is another coat of Clear gloss. Cheers chaps.

However, with the Vallejo metal paints (Silver, Dark alu, Alu, and Steel) it's child's play to achieve all these shades. I just mix randomly in the cup of my pistol and put bright and darker shades next to each other to generate contrast.
