Great scheme, great job weathering (maybe you could share your technique, since I am currently building a Tomcat):thumbsup: I am guessing you used plenty of pastels?...
Your Tomcat simply looks dirty and incredible :D

Hi Simone,

What can I say : I love your style, I have been abmiring every single model you have presented here on ARC, I love the aircraft you model (US Navy fighters mostly)

Happy to see one of your superb models here again on ARC.

The look real, nice build, nice paint, nice and realistic weathering : every inch of them look like the (4) feet of the real aircraft they depict.

Fantastic job - Congratulations

Eric B.

Thanks Jesse,
my technique is always the same: very much chromatic variations!
I haven't used any pastel, all the work is done with the airbrush, just a little black smoke pigment touchs with a flat brush at the end.
In any case I have taken HD videos of the painting an weathering process, so should make a DVD soon...
Cheers, Simone.

What a wonderfully realistic Tomcat. That's a beautifully crafted F-14.

It looks like it's been salt weathered.... It looks great, when you come out with the DVD I will buy it :woot.gif: Hopefully you make the DVD soon (I am into the painting stages of my Cat as we speak)

Man, I could just sit and stare at this Tomcat all day to try and dissect your painting technique. It's just incredible. I can't for that DVD to come out.
