    The cockpit is superbly done Graham. Always a shame when you don't see much of it when it's buttoned up inside.

      I hate white plastic, have I mentioned that? But I hate white paint even more. Three quarters of a jar of Tamiya Gloss white has been gently sprayed over the grey primer and is slowly building up and turning glossy.


      I have studied a few forums for tips on spraying white and one suggests unthinned Tamiya misted for a couple of coats then a wet heavy coat.


      Others say build up thinned misted coats and gradually build up the solid colour.


      This has now been hit with a lot of thinned paint and, happily, there is no sign of losing the fine detail.


      Do you think I should keep building the solidity up or should I go for a thicker wet coat now?

        The cockpit looks tremendous, and it is coming along lovely, nice one Graham.

          All looking good Graham.


          As for the solidity I would go with the lighter coats as opposed to a wet coat.But that is just me..


          Oh and nice canopy.

            Painting a white colour is a pain!!


            Sometimes I painted white coats mixed with some drops of varnish....looking for a more solidity colour. It usually works....


            Looking very good so far Graham. Keep up the good work

                I would defo stick with the thin coats as what is so far is lovely and looks effective. I really might use my new Fengdu A/b to spray mine when it comes.


                Looking good


                Regards

                          Great work so far Graham. Amazing job on the canopy.

                            Many apologies but I took my eye off the ball with this one and got sidetracked so failed to finish..... In fact, I cannot remember where I put it out of harms wayops:


                            Really must get organised more.
