Nice work Dave, a bit of surgery but it all looks like it is coming together nicely. Big Daddy looks interesting.

Started painting today, first time I've tried masking camouflage - green first then masked off the edges with white tack, need to look at port wing as not enough green but can sort that tomorrow

That's better

With a dry fit of prop

Coming along nicely. It takes a fair amount of time and patience to do that masking.

Thought I would dry fit U/C & see how it looks,

The verdict - Way to many brushmarks, didn't look that bad until I put a coat of Vallejo Satin on now really obvious

Not sure if I should start again and get the wet & dry out or leave as is, am planning to weather this up,so may well hide the worst of it

Am quite pleased how the battered & worn prop has come out though

I'd be inclined to give it another coat, you can see the brush marks in the grey. Minor brush marks can be made subtle with a gloss coat. Try using a bit less paint at a time, use even strokes, and thin/clean the brush every now and again.
