Smythe Meister's Mk. IX. ICM 1/48

[stillp]

I used their Top Notch masks for both the Stuka and Gladiator in my dogfight doubles, and they seem to be intended to overlap the wings, presumably so there isn't a masking edge on the wing edge, which would be difficult to stick down.

Coming on nicely Ian!! Not looking bad at all!!!!

Invested in a few camo masks myself.... Not because I normally use them but because they're so cheap at 1/72 age they've helped bulk out overseas purchases and make the p&p on the main purchase worth it.

Pssst, Mr. Smiff,

I think Andrew has been sniffing the wrinkle cream instead of applying it to his thumbs.........

BTW, Cohan did a fantastic job masking the canopy before you shooting the primer!!! Looks good so far Andy and keep it coming.....

Prost

Camo looks fine Andy. I've never tried masks but you've shown how well they work.

.... "New words"?!!..... Well,being ex R.A.F. i know the words..... it`s actually assembling the kit that`s my handicap!!:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::dizzy:

No , me learning new words Andy ! :smiling2::smiling2::smiling2:
Nice work with those camo masks , never seen those before , no doubt as don't look at aftermarket parts for wingy's.

Thanks Tony
So do you cover the entire plane with gloss varnish then?.... I just put it where the decals are going to sit on my AFVs.
Lack of wingy experience shining through yet again!!

Ha!! Not sure about that Mick
HOWEVER ,some of the mysticism around doing these flying fings is slowly lifting

I Usually do andy, then you arent going to get any different looking areas when the matt varnish goes on after . Cheers tony

Hi John,thank you
Those masks are excellent IMHO, well worth the outlay and effort.... No seepage whatsoever
