Very nice work there mate

That is nice! The color came out great.

A manufacturer needs to step up and make a properly scaled 1/72 F8F (my preferred scale).

Howdy!

I'm away from my bench due to work, though if memory serves correctly I used Model Master Acrylic Gloss Dark Sea Blue 4686. I'm 99.9% sure that's what I used. I sprayed it using Model Masters thinner. Though, I do remember having to practice with the mixing ratio to get it perfect. I have a spare/test model I do spray tests on.

Also, on a forum using note. If you use the quote feature (the little " button in the top of my posts) it will give me a notification that you quoted me so I can get back to you. I usually don't surf my old build/gallery threads, just luckily stumbled across your post.

Hope this helps, have fun building!
