Its my paint... I have the receipt to prove it.

Just kidding. I mostly use Model Masters Enamels

Work on Major-General A A Kuznetzov's Lend Lease Hurricane continues

Last we left off the base cote of Dark Earth was applied. Next I masked off and a applied the Dark Green

Unmasked. This lighting doesn't do the paint work any justice

Next its time to black out the RAF roundels so that the Red Stars can be applied. To do this I took out the decal sheet that came with this kit and using a circle template I found the correct size of the roundels.

Once the circles were traced and the centers found I use a compass scribe to sut out the centers

Thanks for taking the time to look at my work

 

[Airframes]

Excellent! Very nicely done Dirk.

 

[Wurger]

Yes I agree with Terry. Nicely done.

 

[dirkpitt289]

It's coming along. slowly but getting there.

[vikingBerserker]

Excellent!

Not a lot of progress last night. I installed the RAF decals on the underside of the wings

 

[Wurger]

Looking very nice.

 

[dirkpitt289]

Thanks, the goal tonight will be to mix up some more Azure blue thin it out a bit and then spray over the RAF Roundels. I hope this works

 

[Gnomey]

Looking good!

 

[Airframes]

Looking good Dirk, and the thin spray should work.

 

[Wurger]

Yep...

For those following if you remember the last thing I did was to add the under wing RAF roundels

Looking at the original photos of this aircraft you can see the roundels bleeding through the paint. My goal was to represent that effect. Taking out the Azure blue this time I thinned it out more then I usually do for painting.

Lastly I gave the entire bird a cote of Future.

Till next time
