TurboTwinky28 The paint looks mostly plasticly because of the lightning and I did thin most of them but some are enamel which normaly turn out plasticly of not thin bad and at the times I didn’t have enamel thinners plus a used a wash which mostly hides it if not a bright light is shone at it. The brush strokes are from the wash which is hard to avoid with the texture of the wash. I did tape it but sadly some of the paint bleed through and I’m using tamiya masking tape and I alsomade sure to brush away from the tape. And canopies get dirt on in real life do they not and if your referring to the the paint on it I am not got at cutting masking tape so accurately.
