[QUOTE="retiredadguy, post: 5066523, member: 132393"] Here's some photos. These are were I cut it. I wasn't to concerned about the neatness of the cuts, just filled it and "rusted it out". I used Tamiya weathering pastels to do the grime and rust. Tamiya and Testers rattle cans for the rest. When you spray dull coat it will defuse the pastels so they look like air brush. Saves lots of mess and set up time. Also cut down the gun turrets + landing gear. Just an fiy. I wasn't after any accuracy as far as getting the over all hight right ect, just trying to get it a whole lot less toy looking. And getting the proportions closer to what it should be. There are some sweet conversions of this that look WAY better, as they corrected all the discrepancies, cockpit size ect. I just did the major things that bugged me and used it as a painting test for Tamiya weathering etc. before I worked on another accurate Falcon model. Hope this helps. Best regards, e [/QUOTE]
