Never thought of using smoke for those panel lines.

Thanks all 
Painting the upper surfaces has begun.....
Masking is a bit of a slog!
More progress shortly.
Cheers Greg

Masking.....my least favourite part of modelling. Just finished masking and spraying four colours on top. About to flip over and mask and spray three colours on the bottom. I need to find a kits that is one colour over-all next

Thank you 
Green on and masking removed...
Not too bad although the outdoor photo doesn't quite reflect the actual colour to the human eyeball!
Paints are Tamiya as those are the ones that behave best with my cheepo airbrush. I've used the same paints as seen in an Airfix Model World article, which looked good to my bleary eye! The flat earth in particular looks too light in the photo.
More gloss and then the dreaded decalling
.

It's amazing how that brown changes with lighting. After having researched our Dark Earth RCAF Canadian equivalent for our Hurricane restoration, I cringe every time I see photos of the finished product, as it looks nothing like seeing it in person!

Nice paint job Greg, and I'm sure it looks the biz in "real life", it's just over-exposed in the outdoor pic.
Good work so far!

That camo came out pretty sharp. I thought the port stab was broken on first glance. It blended in with the "Marsten Matting"!

Thanks all. Here's a couple more photos taken last night at the bench. First one is with flash the second is without.
Second photo is more what it actually looks like. Hopefully decal will begin today.
More soon.......

That's looking the biz, Gregg.
I've adjusted the second pic to allow for the lighting, and it loos spot on.

Decals on, and Matt coat pending.
Some final weathering to do and adding the radio mast, rear view mirror and pitot tube, and it should be done!
