Gallery Article by Moises Ballester on Feb 28 2011

 

Hello, I present  my latest model, an F-18D belonging to VFMA (AW) -224 Bengals.  This is the 1/32 kit from Academy.  I used a set of seats from Quickboost, FG's for inside of the cockpit from Eduard and  nozzles from Aires.

To paint it I used Gunze 307 and 308 for the gray colors, and Humbrol 125 for the dark gray.  

To made the weathering I used oils and pastel chalk.
