As an aside in the pic of the rather used looking beau over malta in my signature, any theories about the bright patch between the cockpit and the ariel dome? Seems like a big area to be missing paint ?

To be a little bit more serious I would say that it looks like an area with paint peeled off. The entire kite was wearing a quite shabby uniform at that time judging by her pic. Please notice the same effect at the area between the port engine nacelle and the air intake at the wing leading edge.
xmas and real life have been a bit much this week so haven't don't much photogenic work, just some dry fitting and sanding and pondering starting some paint ….
well i have put some paint on but not too happy. The new airbrush is way better. I think I made my masking a bit high though as I have very soft demarcation . I may have another go. Pics to follow
As an aside I am mostly reading up on weathering techniques, as by the looks of some of the reference pics its almost impossible to over do the "used " look on these malta based beaus lol
Starting to look a little beau shaped, very much a work in progress as I try out some of the things I have read about on here … got to start somewhere
Lots of firsts here, first time I have airbrushed raf camo …first time I have used my new airbrush, first time I have tried to add a lighter colour to panels to denote some fading, first go at a little panel line work.
