Great job of an old kit

[@DarkStarProjects-hw2hn]

Thanks. The newer 2018 tooling looks to be more detailed but this version is a decent representation of a Spitfire.

Your post shading involves darkening the dividing lines and lightening the centers of the panels?

[@DarkStarProjects-hw2hn]

Yes, in general I look to darken areas that join to other areas and lighten the flat/curved planes in between. If I class a stage as "modulation" this is probably what I'm doing although it can also happen during "weathering".

[@Saxon_TAG]

Amazing job but I feel like the final finish looks too faded/washed out. Over weathered it with one of the final steps. Constructive criticism I hope you understand :)

[@DarkStarProjects-hw2hn]

Not a problem, the final finish of any kit is very subjective, I don't expect my style to be liked by everyone.

Old decals 😖🤷‍♂️ Nice job though 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

[@DarkStarProjects-hw2hn]

Thanks. Problem of working through a 90's stash is 90's decals that sometimes let you down but they looked ok in the end.
