Uh, wow?

And I'm n� 3 on board with WOW and how did you make this awseome great weathering...

[Ryuji]

Thanks!
First i painted with lacquer color (Gunze flat brown), then I wet the surface with enamel thinner and painted the weathering effect with enamel flat black. Then with a dry brush I painted with Tamiya enamel flat earth.
The enamel thinner/paint not attack the lacquer, so if I exaggerate the effect, I can clean and reduce the weathering with the thinner.

*BTW, I posted bigger size images in my Deviantart page.

Great project, great builds. So, what was lacking from the Aoshima PE that required some of the Fujimi set?

Silly question what did you use for the aircraft landing lights? And how did you get that bright color!? Wonderful job!!!

I used evergreen plastic strips and painted with Gunze fluorescent color (red and green).

Thanks! Aoshima set is a bit incomplete (not include catwalk parts) and Fujimi set have better mast and antena parts.
