Very nice!
But I have a question that's a bit OT but, what exactly do you mean for "pastels"? The literal translation indicate this stuff

is it correct?
Thanks in advance
Alberto

 

[Wayne Little]

Hi Alberto, the Pastels I refer to are Chalk Pastels. Rubbed on to some sandpaper and then applied with a brush. Check the link for some PDF's to download.

Hi Wayne,
thanks for the answer and the link.
So you mean these:

I got some of them but never used, may be I will try on the Zero, following your tutorial.
Cheers
Alberto

Very neat.

 

[Wayne Little]

You got it Alberto, that's them!

Got home from work today and had a brain fade.....decided to make one further mod. to the paint job.....so off to the shed, knowing it was going to be friggin hot!
41C just to let you know.....

Added Green patches to the fuselage, figuring that this aircraft had a previous owner.....my reasoning.....that the dark patch on the cowl where the Diavolo Rossi emblem has been painted, most likely covers a previous emblem therefore it is possible that a staffel number WAS also on the fuselage and this too was overpainted.
Also glossed most of the upper surfaces so I can get some more primary decals on her tomorrow!

Nice one Wayne.

Got home from work today and had a brain fade.....

I usually have these about 3:00am and then the brain wheels churn over and can't get back to sleep.

 

[Airframes]

Know that feeling! Looking good Wayne.

 

[Wayne Little]

Well, this brain fade was at 4pm, hottest part of the day.....Thanks guys!

[javlin]

This is coming along nicely Wayne!The brain fade deal was possibilly a very good catch on your part I never would would of been that good of a detective.

 

[A4K]

[Crimea_River]

[Wayne Little]

Thanks Guys!

Ok the little brain fade session has yielded some further progress...the result, Primary decals are on for the most part!

the wing crosses will be slightly overpainted tomorrow, then glossed over, once dry the Italian markings will be overlaid, slightly outboard of the crosses.....

 

[A4K]

Damn that's looking sweet Wayne, good on ya!

 

[Wayne Little]

Cheers Evan, thanks man...
