Good stuff Don.

Put your sunglasses on boys, ( that's you Vic) it's gonna get bright. Dang if don't look like I'm on my last bottle of Testers chrome yellow. Think I'll be ok for this though.

 

[Crimea_River]

[Vic Balshaw]

I told you to swap your monitor for a dull one!

If you start getting too low on Chrome Yellow enamel, Testors number 1114 in the small bottle is the same thing.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far!

 

[Donivanp]

Cowling color. Shot black primer then masked of for lemon yellow. My first shot using the Hataka paint. I tried thined and un thined. No issues to note.

 

[Crimea_River]

Turned out well.

 

[Donivanp]

True blue. Again gaps at the mating point of the tail planes. AAAARRRRRGGGGGG

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Such a bright blue, still need my shades. Liking it though.

Sorry ment to warn you

 

[Crimea_River]

Pretty bird.

 

[Donivanp]

Pretty bird.

Yeah does make you want to ask, Polly want a cracker.

 

[Wayne Little]

Nice striking colours...!

 

[Donivanp]

Had to do some putty work on the tail plains as the gap was just too large. Tamiya white putty and then qtip dipped in finger nail polish to clean it up. The Techmod decals come with a great set of mask and I should have been useing them more. They cover all the nessary markings. Wing to fuselage, lower wing yellow to aluminum, tail etc...
So I did some cleanup of the Aluminum and used the tail mask to re-shoot the blue.

 

[fubar57]

Those are great masks

[Vic Balshaw]
