Thanks for the info Wayne. I'm still rather hit and miss with the tinning myself. Sometimes it's bang on, other times not so much.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

This is top draw stuff Wayne, love the spray effect. Question from me as well, with this spraying, are you pulsing to get that effect!

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far Wayne!

 

[javlin]

Wayne your paint looks super as usual just wish I had that kind of patience to take that process on

 

[Donivanp]

as always a master at the art.

I know what you mean, sometimes I have a few hiccups but most of the time i get it pretty well right....considering I don't use measured amounts, I do alright!

Not quite sure what you mean when you say pulsing? But all I do is a mottling effect that I build up in light and heavier mottles and build up over the layers to create the patchy effect.
Ok been a bit busy and distracted from the forum for a couple of days...however I have been pushing forward as time permits....a selection of shots for you,

More White winter camo applied, starboard wing done, then working from the tail forward along the fuselage.

Looks good and looks huge Wayne, maybe you should put a tea mug or something beside it so we all get an idea of how huge the monster truly is.

Now I can actually grant your request Vic in these next few pics!

I got time in yesterday and today to finish the major Winter Camo, there will be a few touch ups with all 4 colours over the next few days as I tidy up a couple of areas, erase the paint spill on the port wing and some white overspray on the horizontal tail too.
Overall the White pattern has taken about 10-11 hours to apply, all freehand.

Hope you like it so far, and thanks to all for stopping by for a squiz.....

 

[Wildcat]

Wow, looks quite striking Wayne!

 

[Wayne Little]

Cheers Andy thanks.

It's big and awkward to handle that's for sure.

[Crimea_River]

Beautiful!

 

[Airframes]

I haven't looked in for a while, but man, that's nice!
It sure is a big b*gg*r, and the white seems to make it look even bigger !

 

[Maximowitz]

Enormo!
