Update 3:
- Gloss coat with future for applying the stencils. 



- After applying the decals, i used a flat coat of Humbrol varnish to seal the paint job.


- Then i started to build all the possible details that Revell made for this kit:







- I painted the engine parts with several different colors from the Alclad range of metallic paints. I also used Tamiya flat aluminium around the body of the engine.


- With so many details, i decided to display my model on a base. I used a large polystyrene sheet, ascribed the concrete details and painted with some artwork acrylics i found on a store close to home so i would not waste my expensive model paints on the base.

   

 Next you will see the finished work. Stay tuned!
