Well done so far, Łukasz 👍
Did you build the other version of Airfix? I think I remember, but I'm not sure 🤔.

Cuajete
I found it! 😄

It would be interesting to see the two of them together :-P

I've been wanting to do this in 1/48! I'm curious to see how you do this camo in 1/72

Łukasz Gliński Auteur
I have a cunning plan, stay tuned 😄

Ben
So tiny 👁 But nicely done 👍

Dave Flitton
Yes, I am waiting for the cunning plan to evolve.

Cuajete
Łukasz, how well do those AK markers work?

Łukasz Gliński Auteur
Well, it depends 😄
They definitely need a primer, otherwise you can simply rub them off.
The colours are not exactly matching the description in my opinion. Usually brighter than my expectation (with couple of exceptions).
Except for white they cover quite well, but at least 2 layers are necessary to get rid of the smudges.
If you're quick, they can be wiped off using wet earbud/papertowel.
They don't stink and are less pointy than Gunze ones for example.

Time to reveal my cunning plan for the Maltese camo - see pic #9 starting from the top left corner:
- the durable and shiny base is needed: in my case it's lacquer paint and lacquer glossy varnish to seal it
- then I sketch the camo using the AK RCM marker, but by default I can't really achieve lines to be thin enough
- so then some sharpened toothpicks come into play (however you can;t wait too long for the marker to dry, so I do it in small chunks)
Once the marker dries it's harder to damage so I can continue on the next sections
And once completed, I'll seal it (not sure yet whether in parts or whole Tilly in one go.

Cuajete
A plan that requires a lot of patience, but with a good result 👍

In the pic 9, does the image below on the left suggest an attempt to draw a giraffe next to the gas cap? 😛

Well done so far, Łukasz!

Łukasz Gliński Auteur
Quite a fat giraffe at the beginning tbh 😄

Cuajete
😄 👍

Alec K
Helluva technique to get that spidery camo done 👍
