My 1st WIP paint in ages now....using 75% of Ricks Paintkit for the T.7. Been spending most of my time trying to get the silver looking right but still not happy with it.

Comments most welcome.

Hi Jason,

Looking good

A tip I picked up from our Garry is to add a blue-grey layer to the .psd then fiddle with the visibility...'silver' or bare metal will reflect the colour of the sky..

HI Jason

In addition to what Dereks says you need to watch that shine

Silver does not shine like bare metal and is easy to overdo

Try reducing the shine and making it a slightly darker grey

Very nice looking repaint and looks very clean and simple.

Looking a little more 'bare metal' maybe...

Hi Jason

you might want to reduce the roundel size a little on the fuselage as i didn't map the top & bottom on the meteor so it drags badly

Mapping is my weak point it seems

Regards
Rick

When i come to do the markings fully ill have a play around to make it look a tad better.
