  --------------------

  Here is my Airfix P-80C Shooting Star which I built last year as my entry to the 4th IPMS Philippines Nationals. It was built Out of the box except for the addition of seatbelts. 
  I wanted to capture the weathered (and "burned metal") look of natural metal aircraft that have been used in air operations. In order to achieve this I tried pre-shading (a technique I learned from my friends at IPMS Philippines) the panel lines with Tamiya Flat Black before over coating it with Gunze Silver. A wash of paint thinner and oil paints for the recesses was applied as well. 

  I think I overdid it though, next time I'll be using dark gray.

  Hope you like it.

  Jojo
