this is my snow rattler that i decided to make. i had an extra one sitting around and said what the heck. this is my first ever attempt to try and make a custom vehicle so please go easy on me : ). i decided not to use all the stickers and only use the red cobra stickers on the wings instead of the missles. its flat white i know i should have used gloss but thats a rookie mistake i guess. i really liked how it came out though. well enjoy.

That flat white looks more realistic for a combat aircraft. Keep up the good work. Like anything practice makes perfection.

Looks real good! I like arctic theme. I always use flat paint, especially on vehicles because its accurate. Sometimes glossy just looks cooler but in reality vehicles for the military are always painted with a flat finish for obvious reasons.

That's realy great. I like the way you kept the decals simple. The flat is the way I'd go, gloss always seem way too reflective/shinny to me.

I really like it! I too am new to customizing and have learned from my mistakes. But I dont see any mistakes on your part. It looks very clean and factory, thats what I like. Awesome job!!

Dude! Sweet lookin Rattler you got there. Don't sweat the flat/gloss...I build model airplanes, and the flat white ALWAYS looks better when I use it. If you want to give it some more depth you can always pick up a gloss or semi-gloss clearcoat and spray that on. White paint is notorious for yellowing and whatnot, so a clearcoat might not be a bad idea anyways.

thanks for the comments guys. the weasel figure didn't come out as good as the plane cause my hands are very shaking so i'm kinda embarrased about that lol. during the painting of the plane everytime i would come back in the house i was almost blind with the sun and then looking at this white plane it take my like 2 minutes to get my eye back in focus.
