Chaparral 2D

I realised I only got to page 2 and missed all the other goodness!!!

 

The weathering looks good.

 

Love the detail and effort around the number decals and the door fittings

Great project  Pierre !    Chaparrals  didn't  win a lot  of races, but they  sure did look good.

Thanks guys. Following Bob's suggestion, Tamiya weathering added to screens. Not perfect but good enough for a 35 part kit.  ?

 

Maybe not perfect in person but it looks amazing in the photo !  I have a couple of those weathering sets , I need to start using them more often .

For a simple, no one bothers to add details kit, you've added a bunch of details! Looks great.

Trying to bring a bit of life to the screened areas using a variety of Vallejo washes. It's still lacking in my opinion. Considering perhaps a delicate rub with Tamiya weathering silver to the screens... I "dunno"   advice please?

I might just dry brush some white, on top. You might want to "dusty" them up, a tad, too. Maybe a little ground-up pastels?

Perfect! I was a little late with my response, as I just got home from work. I really love these old Monogram kits, and you are absolutely killing this! I love it!

The screens turned out great Pierre, and the decals look fabulous so far.

Your project is a fine example of what one can do to dress up a simple kit.
