good god man you must have the patience of a saint!!

I seem to always give up on masking and fall back on the "paint and rub off" technique

[Guest]

I'm with Colin, I can't imagine the patience needed here! I've a He-219 canopy to mask that I've been putting off for ages!

Good stuff Ian.

Cheers

It's going together really well "Saint" Ian.

the wheel wells seem to be black or dark grey from what i've found too ....

I'm playing catch up!

Ian, you truly have the patience of a Saint, very well done so far.
