Some pictures of my WIP baneblade. Till now I mainly use my airbrush, now it is time to use my brushes

Comments and advices are always appreciated !

The painting so far is good, I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.

A couple of points.
I don't know if it's possible, but it seems to me that a circle of thin plasticard in the ends of the fuel tanks would remove that unsightly join line with a minimum of fuss


shows the searchlight on my Baneblade - a long time WiP that I have never seemed to get around to finishing. The searchlight is from http://www.little-cars.co.uk/list2.html and is one of the 10, 12, oe 14mm headlights at £2.50 for a pack of 4. I can't remember which size I used at the time, but am sure you can measure the diameter of the searchlight and get the one closest to that. Mine is a little bigger, but that just makes sure it looks like the silver bezel around the edge looks screwed on. I filed the front face of the searchlight down until it was flat, then just glued the replacement on over the top.

Thanks for your answer !

I was looking for something to hide those lines on the fuel tanks. I though about using liquid green stuff, but a bit of plastic card could also do the job as well. For the searhlight, I may use your tip, or maybe do something with my airbrush and a range of blue paints to have something different.

Thanks for your advices too
