Was wondering when I'd see this one again
The last time I tried an acrylic wash it made the most horrible mess imaginable I think I tossed the model it turned out so bad...that would have been in the late seventies using Pactra paint if I recall correctly. It's good to see acrylics have changed.
Great looking to date brother as usual
Regards, Mark

Thanks for the encouragement fellas. OK...........the color Modulation didnt go well. I miss matched/mixed some colors and wound up with a very weird tri color Modulation camo type thing. SO, i grabbed so good ole Tamiya Buff - thinned it down quite a bit and sprayed 2 coats over the Crazy Color Tiger. Heres what she looks like now. I lost pretty much all my preshade, but hey.......it looks better than it did and NO, i didnt take a pic of the 3 tone Tiger! Gary

I'm guessing there will be some AK Interactive products going onto this at some point?

I can't imagine why you'd assume that. Maybe if he had half a hobby store worth of stock in his pics that might be a reasonable conclu....oh...ok.

Nice progress so far. Sometimes in modeling it is more about correcting or minimizing mistakes, than making it perfect, which never happens, right?

Great work on the detail painting. Each step from here on out just brings more life into the build. I hope your Future is filled with a nice, smooth, glossy surface.
