Thanks guys. I was out of town this weekend but hope to get back to it tomorrow

A day late but here's the latest. I masked and painted the forward orange section. It's the first time I used Tamiya masking tape for curves and I'm very happy with the result.

Looks great.

Nice results. I was going to buy some of that tape two days ago but held off

 

[Airframes]

Nice !
Might have to try that tape sometime - I have a few projects where it could be useful.

 

[T Bolt]

I'm really pleased with it. Very light adhesive and does curves beautifully

 

[Airframes]

It's certainly done a good job on that compound curve !

 

[turbo]

Yep, like that stuff. I used it on the fuselage waist bands on my Folgore.

 

[T Bolt]

It's sure going to come in handy doing all the stripes on this chopper

[Gnomey]

Lovely work so far Glenn!

I sprayed the second orange stripe tonight. The left edge of the orange is a finished line while there is still a brown stripe to paint to the right up to the white masking tape. The masking of this paint scheme has turned into a major project. I'm not real happy with the brown paints I have on hand and will need to find some others so that probably will not be happening this week.

Definitely sold on that tape now

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks excellent and more to come.

 

[Airframes]

It does look the biz - going to be a cracker when it's done. The colour scheme reminds me of my old MkII Escort rally car.

 

[Wayne Little]

That's looking pretty good Glenn.

 

[parsifal]

great Job so far Glenn. that tape seems to be a big help.
