Frank and Claymore, thankyou for the kind comments
Tha camo for both took a bit of effort, the Oscar even more so as it took two attempts to get the giraffe mottle (plate mottle?) dense enough. I had to hand mix acceptable colour hues from Tamiya acrylics for my camo paint colours. Also used was Vallejo Metal Color (sorry about the spelling), Humbrol, Testor's and Gunze. I'll try to attach a few progress style pics.
The weathering had to be carefully planned at a very early stage of finishing, basically right after undercoating and before doing the basic NMF using the excellent AK Xtreme Metal colour AK479 Aluminium.
I think I still overdid the weathering, especially on the Oscar, but I'm reasonably happy with the pair of them.
Wombat, what do you mean "feeling old", we are old . . . er
We hadn't been in the Navy two full years yet, you on 851Sqn and me on
724Sqn. Glad you like 'em mate, I just had to finish them.
BTW Wombat but almost a third of my stash is 1/144scale, so expect more to come . . . eventually, busy with a rebuild at present.
