Al, Nice work on the paint. Your right invasion stripes are cool.

Ok done for the night. Will leave it all 24 hours to dry properly then i'll mask it off to paint the grey(s). Getting there slowly but surely

Nice work on the invasion stripes Al. Look forward to seeing the grey go on, the Beaufighter is one of my favourites.

Cheers Joe. Still learning this masking around curves thingy. Maybe @Paintguy could give a demo in the tutorial section lol

I'd gladly do one on full size but I don't think I'm quite up to speed on scale stuff just yet :smiling5:

That’s looking great love those invasions stripes

[AlanG]

I've painted the upper surfaces and started the lower surfaces now. I made a boo boo and painted the wrong colour underneath. I used a too dark a grey (got my Tamiya numbers wrong) so have reverted back to using Xtracrylix Sky colour. I think it looks ok but could possibly do with another coat in some places. Also used the motor masks tape so i could get the curved masking.

[AlanG]

The nervous reveal........ Yay! Tamiya (upper surface) lovely to paint. Xtracrylix (lower surface) was a pain (yet again) to spray but i cannot fault the finish they give. Seriously need to figure out what i am doing wrong with these paints.

Alan,
looking mighty fine.

Evening Al

Looking good!!

[AlanG]

Cheers guys. Loads of little mistakes in the build and paint but as i said before. This is more of a test mule for me. So i can let some 'slide' for now

I just bought one of these today but it’s the Night Bomber can’t wait to get it. This is my favorite British plane I may have to add it to my Night Bomber GB if that’s ok

Good morning Al, this is far too good to call a test mule. All looking really, really good.

[Guest]

Late on parade for this , so apologies.
Think your painting is brilliant, looks clean . A lovely build .

This is my favorite British plane I may have to add it to my Night Bomber GB if that’s ok

Lee you are more than welcome to build it for the Nightfighter GB. I'd love to see it done.

Cheers Colin & John :smiling3:
