Thank you very much for your kind comment mi amigo Grant Barr, all the applied work and the great contribution of several great knowledgeable colleagues in this forum have been very enriching.

An important part is also the shows of support from so many with their visits.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do (although with less available time),... and I'll be waiting for comments and doubts.

Saludos hasta la hermosa tierra de Canguros y Koalas

Hola amigo

Are you going to let us see your process?, to be pending.
It will be necessary to corroborate how good a model this ICM is.

It seems that little by little I will resume the conclusion of your gift.

Saludos

Hello everyone, thank you for your visits and I hope you are well.

Studying carefully what is related to the RAF rondels, these are the main images that I will use as a reference





This will be the mask that I will use to practice its application and tests with my airbrush



I will use a mask for each of the 3 types of rondeles.

One mistake I discovered in this review was covering the top crosses of the reprinted wings for the documentary film, which were printed in a position more towards the tips of the wings; according to the photos shared here in the thread and more clearly shown in this image of Wojtek



And on the wings of our AW-177 such "repainted" crosses are simulated at the wrong distance.
I realized when I positioned the upper rondel mask at the distance and location that corresponds in our reference photos...



It can be seen that the dark green stain that covers the alleged crosses is already largely within the area of the rondel.

I've already thought about what my movement will be to make those crosses "erased with dark green", remain correctly with respect to those rondeles...
...that will be in another next opportunity to share with you how I am doing (or how they turned out)

Waiting for your comments...

Greetings y muchos saludos

Time flies!
It's been almost three years since the last comment on this thread.

My dear Grant Barr, I read your comment and, taking advantage of this holiday season, I revisited this shared adventure with many great friends and colleagues in this wonderful activity, as well as certified experts in static modeling and military aviation of that era.

These moments, experiments, lessons, and camaraderie enriched the content for all of us and for future readers, who will surely benefit from it in their upcoming projects.

… yo be continued

As I mentioned in "La Galería SANCER" days ago, I'll be repairing each of my completed models (since, over time—and with a bit of forgotn-they all have small details to fix). I'll also be working on regaining my "dusty skills" before continuing with our AW117, a model I've admired since I chose it and thoroughly enjoyed throughout her process… and which truly deserves to be finished.

I'd like to take this opportunity to send my sincere wishes to everyone for a 2025 filled with health, new joys, and much love among our loved ones.

…and, of course, many more hours of plastic, glue, and paint, shared with the wonderful camaraderie of this amazing forum!

Con mucho cariño desde México, Gracias por ser y estar

Saludos
Luis Carlos
