Second colour on, the green next and time to start masking the canopy, got a mask set to make life easier.

Looking really nice Mark, can't wait to get going on mine now.

The moment of truth was pulling the tape off,the paint stayed on as did all the bits of plastic !! Result ! but the green is on and as this is my third ever camo attempt I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out, a few details to paint then a light gloss for decals. On to painting the canopy and wheel flaps next.

Wow that tape really worked Mark, looks very clean.
Always nice to read that a kit is good and things are right, to many times we read of poor instructions, design and manufacturing.

Fantastic paint job Mark. As you say pulling that tape off is a heart stopping moment.....

Thanks John, yes it's a lovely kit to build, paint instructions could be a little better but that's the only negative point.

Thanks Andrew, big sigh of relief when the last bit came off.

Looks very good, the camo is nice and sharp and straight, so very well done for your third ever attempt at camouflage

Hi Mark
Great looking camo. Always stressful when masking is removed. Wonderful feeling when it works as well as this.

Gloss coat on, wingtanks painted also the nicely moulded canopies which have raised detail inside as well. Nose painted in white as well.

OK so this wasnt something I was planning to do although painting decals does look better if you can pull it off,couldn't get the decals on the engine intakes to go down without creasing so I gave up decided to paint them,not something I've done before so I've got my fingers crossed! So far I've got this!
And need to get to this!

So far so good.
