The gloss black on the Hien looks great! Green mottle over NMF scheme, I presume?

Very nice!
(And is that a Horch on the go in the background?)

Nice! I like the look of solid green Hien's myself. The paint looks gorgeous!

 

[Robert Porter]

Paint came out really well!

Another busy day at Brian's Fighter Factory. Still more exterior areas to paint before gloss coat

Yes it is

The Hien and Zero are looking wonderful

Ailerons and tail painted. Took about 15-20 minutes to mask the tail. A few minutes of painting and 15 seconds to remove mask. The joys of masking now to paint that big blue line next !

Very smooth and neat Brian, Having just graduated to an airbrush I never realized how big a pain in the keester masking is. That and I'm still in the "wasting an awful lot of paint because I'm unsure how much I need to paint for a specific job" phase

Its a work in progress on how much paint you use. I sometimes will poor the left overs back in the bottle. I to need to learn to not make a ton. Its easier to always add more paint to the airbrush if you run out

Fantastic masking job! That tail had some interesting curves to deal with!

Landing gear glued and Vector Resin wheels cleaned up. The Vector Resin wheel are really nice and must have set. I used on on the Wildcat I built last year . Also dry fitted the Thach pilot to see what he looks like coming out of the office . Stay tuned my friends

I liked the detail to the center of the ailerons and how you painted them; That is a fine detail of how to mask, ... and achieved in the tail, show your taste for details. What color brand did you use for tail and mixed more than one color?
On the other hand the pilot leaving the office is a good idea that I liked.
Congratulations Brian for what has been achieved so far with your birds.
