1/48 A-20G Havoc

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Jayl. I need to get back after it. I have been working after work this week and not had a chance to do any model work.

 

[Wayne Little]

That sucks, work interfering with modelling....

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Sometimes. In the process of masking off the invasion stripes at the moment.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ok, after much frustration I got the white part of the invasion stripes done. I know your suppose to do the dark color first but as dry as I am shooting this with cool reducer it is NOT going to bleed. I now have to trim a millimeter of width off of my stripe tape to get the black stripes done.

Looks good Aaron, and it is the right way around - do the light colours first.

 

[vikingBerserker]

That's looking pretty sharp!

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Terry and David.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking good Aaron.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thank you Andy. As soon as I catch up on sleep I will get the invasion stripes finished. I know, sleeps over rated.

looks great

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

After way to many tries and failures I think I got the wings correctly striped. At least I hope so. I have some corrections to make on the fuselage.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks alright Aaron.

 

[Wurger]

Looking good.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Thanks guys, I've got to retape the fuselage band and true it up some so it won't look funky.

Nice work Aaron, and it's Ok if the lines are maybe a bit wavy after masking - the real things were done 'by eye', with brushes, mops, whatever available, and rarely pristine !

Very nice Aaron. Got one in the stash and trying to find an oddball scheme for it. Like Terry said..they didn't have much time to apply them so they weren't always purty.

Thank you Terry and Geo, I am going to try and find the decal set for Miss Laid. That was the planes original name and they renamed it for a ceremony for 100 missions without missing a one due to failures of any type. When they did this you could still see the original markings under the paint and new name so I'd like to try and represent it correctly if I can.

[T Bolt]
