Sons of Walrus, heaps better photos on a white background! Oh, and offering commissioning now.

Weathering post paint work was composed of sponge chipping, weathering pigments, pin washes and streaking, airbrushed scorch marks from the turbine on to the top fins and also airbrushed and streaked scorch marks from the bottom of the pod up.
