That sounds like a lot of work, but worth it! The only other way it could look that good is if you made a working 1/12 scale engine and actually ran it to get heat stained exhausts! Thanks for the great WIP.senninha wrote:Thank you very much guys. regarding the exhausts, I used round about 30 very thin layers of different alclad colors (transparent blue, red, yellow, burnt violett, polished brass, polished aluminium and some smoke). I began with clear coating the black primer to apply the polished aluminium. Then I started with blue and red on the curves of the exhausts, adding some brass and repeat the procedure till I was satisfied.
best regards.
