Hi guys...
this is my first build this year..its been a while since i touch any kit and now gotta have some time out from work and life ..

build started 2 weeks ago... tamiya 1/48 kit... got it as a souvenir from the guy next door in Japan...

my first attempt at winter white wash also.... stay tune for more photos...

green of various shade and preshade, post shade



gloss coated and decals...



my rusty skill got the letter 41 decal on the portside damaged and have to remove it... dang!!


chipping, rusting etc







and then, white wash... flat white overspray at no specific patern...


heavy chipping and streaking started







will try to add more white overspray... as this is my first attempt for white wash to depict late winter fashion..i hope i can get many comment on how to get it done...

well, till then..thanks for looking

Nice job on the chipping and streaks. One suggestion is to add some wash or pigments to the black tracks so they aren't as clean looking compared to the rest of the model. Congrats on another campaign

Now that is some cool weathering! You should show this to the bigger scale guys and rub it under their noses. Outstanding build!!!!!!!!!!!!!
