Had this kit half built for some months,so i thought id try and get it finished.I'v had a go of doing the octipus camo but i dont know if the green is the right colour,but i like it.question as am not putting any decals on should i still shoot some future on it?Thanks

Hi Karl, looking good mate what did you use for the green base coat?..Here is a link to a build from Filippo Chessa, i`m sure he would not mind!!.....maybe it will help you in your finish!!......

That's an interesting scheme you have going there. I'd like to see it when it's done.

Looking very good so far Karl. I enjoy seeing those rare camo scheme. Keep us posted mate

Nice paintwork! I'm gonna have to do one of those octopus jobs someday. And I think your green is fine, plus it will change some when you start weathering. The only thing I would consider would be to do a little bit of fading with some of the base toned down with buff.
And as to your question about Future, since you arent' applying decals I don't see the point. Unless you want to impart some sheen to it.

The only other reason to use future in this case would be to help with your wash ( less bleeding), allows the wash to flow easier.
