Very nice Vaughan. Very clean & sharp as per usual. How on earth did you get that nice dense yellow on the spinner. My yellows always look thin.

Laurie I sprayed a light coat of white first and then followed up with several light coats of the yellow. This seems to work for me.

Thanks Vaughan. I have been spraying on grey primer or in the case of yellow prop ends the plastic itself. Think next time I will spray the whole prop white then the yellow ends then the black. The black will cover anything.

Thanks guys

I'm nearly finished ariel mast/wire and pitot tube are on. Landing lights painted and fitted. I have made a start on some subtle weathering on the canopy and other wear areas. Still yet to apply some exhaust staining, fluid needle and nozzle for my BR arrived this lunch time (thanks John for your prompt delivery) so will get on the case if I have time this afternoon.

Well the Mig3 is finished and photographed. I've just got to wade through all of them to pick out the best ones. Time permitting I will post them in the Aircraft Pictures section this evening.
