Thanks guys. I'm away for a few days as of tomorrow, so not much else is going to happen and I'm also waiting for some of the silver dusting powder which basically has put it all on hold for a couple of weeks.

 

[Wayne Little]

Take care Vic!

Have a safe trip mate.

Have been having some fun with the airbrush these last few days, playing with colour variation particularly with metallic paints. Here are some of the results....................

Very nice stuff there Vic, looks like you had a jolly good play ! Isn't it marvellous being able to get these effects with an airbrush?! And to think, once upon a time, we had to try it, with a paint brush, or shy away from it, thinking it was impossible. I remember trying some variations, with a hairy stick, on an F5E, probably 30 years ago (or more), which turned out like an old, worn, bent and battered EPNS spoon !!

guys, much appreciated. Started to apply decals today, realising that I've got to cut some of them to fit panels or protrusions, also did a bit of final paintwork and some nav lights. Pics in a couple of days.
