Great job on the camo Jeff!

 

[Jeff Hunt]

Thanks fellas for all the nice comments. To make the stencils that I used I grabbed a stack of self adhesive sticky notes. I folded them in half and then ripped small piece along the fold into various shapes. I then attached small pieces of sticky tack along the edges of the openings and gently pressed them into place and sprayed away. For some like those along curves and such I needed to use my non spraying hand to help hold them in place.

I used the sticky note as they are a good size but any piece of paper will work.

Cheers,

Jeff

Nicely done Jeff, and a beaut dog.

 

[Jeff Hunt]

Thanks Terry, I like the model, I love the dog. I think I may have mentioned it before but being a German Shepherd and my love of WW2 aviation, I named him Willie after a certain aircraft designer from Germany.

Cheers,

Jeff

Looks great! I've also become a big fan of Post-Its as masking material. It's great for blocking out individual panels.

Latest update. Top side decals have been started in areas that I will not be working on again for the most part. Starting to look like a warplane now.

Each number in the squadron code was separate... I would not have complained had they been one piece decals.

Cheers,

Jeff

She's looking sharp! Well done Jeff.

 

[Jeff Hunt]

Progress continues and she now stands on her own legs. The tailplane struts are attached and the bombardier's cupola is attached.

Still a few bits to attach and a couple of things to paint and then decals but she is getting close

Cheers,

Jeff
