pic1 2 show the RLM02 square that covers the yellow 2 markings
pics3, 4 5 show panel lines and dirt and grime, i've read that Wick was pretty hard on his machine and pics seem to show it looking fairly grubby !

[Airframes]

Looking forward to the decals mate.

Karl, this may well turn out to be your best yet. I hope you had the masking on the pit and canopy parts before you sprayed the gloss to avoid overspray inside.

 

[T Bolt]

Fantastic Karl!! I DO think this will turn out to be your best!

 

[Wayne Little]

Impressed!

praise from a master is praise indeed

i must admit i'm enjoying this build and how it is progressing a hell of a lot, its a subject i wanted to do as soon as i started to build models again !

 

[rochie]

[Wayne Little]
