Nice job. What did you use for a wash on the underside? I like the dirty look around the panels, good effect.

Thanks Shifty!
 I wish the picture was a little better.For the panel lines I mix a little black and brown together,thin it down realy good then I go over any panel lines with a  brush.I wipe away the exess with a paper towel.Theres brown that I dry brushed on there where mud would have splattered from the tires and what have ya.The oil and gun stains were dry brushed on.Anymore I do the gun stains with my airbrush,i think it comes out better.

I have talked with some of the fellaz about model building in the past.Finaly had someone show me how to post pictures on our forum Im pathetic sometimes.I have other stuff ill take pictures of and get them posted soon.

I'd like to see more when you get around to it.

My biggest problem is always the wash. Maybe I should try dry brushing chalk or something else. It seems I've tried about everything with an airbrush, but I just can't get the proper grime effect of real aircraft.
