Here are a couple of in progress pictures that I took of the SM-79 that I painted for GHQ a few years ago.

You don't like the 'spinning props' acrylic look? Or the motionless prop look? (Ah, but I see the props in the background!) |

Hi Bill! This picture was taken before the model was totally completed, the props have not been attached. |

Here is the completed model as it appears in the GHQ catalog.

Those are really nicely done! How did you apply the mttled paint? Was it airbrushed with a mask or did you sue a sponge? Expertly painted! |

that is a lovely bit of work there |

Thanks very much, pmwalt and Anton! I appreciate it. I did the mottled paint by applying very thinned out coats of Humbrol enamels over the base color. In this case, as I recall, I used Humbrol #94 Brown Yellow for the base sand color, Humbrol #102 Army Green for the green, and #186 Brown for the brown color. The front of the aircraft and leading edges is Humbrol #64 Light Gray. The sand and light gray were sprayed on. The camouflage colors were built up over 3 or 4 thinned layers to get them to the finished state. |
