Nicely done.

[brucejscott]

Beautiful work there Wayne.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys....continuing with the panel lines and painted the exhausts too still more work to do...

 

[Wurger]

Undoubtedly the painter's gift. My Bro...

 

[tigerdriver]

as ever that really does look fantastic wayne

 

[Crimea_River]

I agree.

 

[ccheese]

Really great, Wayne....

How come the port side of the exhaust has a cover, and the starboard side doesn't ?

[Airframes]

Nice work Wayne. Charles, i think the port exhaust shield was to prevent, or minimize, hot exhaust gasses being ingested into the supercharger intake.

 

[Gnomey]

Looks great Wayne!

 

[Wayne Little]

Thanks guys, tried something different today....as I have removed the raised detail on the rudder, i thought I would try something different to still give some impression of the detail but retain the flat surface.

Added some thin tape strips and then applied some light strokes of black pastel, have rubbed some back to reduce the effect but i think it still needs a bit more reduction...

[Crimea_River]

Neat! Agree maybe tone down a little.

 

[Airframes]

I agree. Maybe another couple of coats of paint, to blend the tape in a bit more ?

 

[Crimea_River]

The tap is off Terry. You're just seeing the pastel remnants.

 

[Airframes]

Ah! In that case, yes, tone down a bit.

 

[vikingBerserker]

What a cool effect though!

 

[ccheese]

Definitely, "a bit of alright".....
