That's most of the blue done just got wing tips to do but I'll have to fit nav lights first and mask so I'll leave that till tomorrow I want to let the paint garden before I touch it then it will be decal time don't think I need a gloss coat as all the paint so far is gloss all the best guys

the paintwork is still very clean work, very impressive

Nice work Roger.

[Guest]

Done most of the decals got the boring small ones to do this evening then I'll gloss coat all I have is tamiya x22 so I think I'll use that then I must gloss white the stars on the wings because the black paint shows through the decal I'm praying the decals don't lift any thoughts guys on an easy fix

FUBAR or SNAFU call it what you want I masked part of the wing decal having given it a coat of x20 clear gloss have it a coat of white when I lifted mask it took part of the clear with it so I tried to blend it out with a cotton bud and ipa it sort of worked but not well so I'll wait till really dry and pick out the white free hand or mask with paper but I think it would creep under if I did that

[Guest]

Damn, I'm sure you will blend it in fine... The rest is liking top drawer

[Guest]
