Thanks Vincent, that's very kind of you :)

In the meantime the SU-152 has been primed black, might start painting soon.

Sorry to hear you are in a contract vacuum, Philipp

But your building is benefiting no end ;)

Always a fine balance between income and time with our hobby :roll:

Seems you are putting your time to very good use ;)

Great progress, it will be good to see the "beast" with paint :D

Back to work soon :(

Regards

Thanks Vincent :)

Madman that I am, I just had to try that two colour scheme...

So I did this....

And ended up with this:

I guess it could have gone worse - but lots of involuntary chipping and despite my best efforts overspray in some areas. A few small parts came off with the masking fluid and one of the handrails went flying into parts unknown...oh well, battle damage... :roll:

That looks really good Philipp ;)

Much better finish than a brush, look very crisp on your photos too :D

Nice one

That's nice work Philipp, masking can be so tedious but the results look like they were worth it.
