**** DONE: GB-57 1/48 Curtiss Hawk-75A-3 - WW2 Foreign Service

[T Bolt]

I painted the cowl and tail yellow after a base coat of white, then decided to paint for the red stripes instead of using the decals. This picture is after about 2 hours of masking which is hard to see because it's yellow Tamiya tape on yellow paint.

Here's the result after spraying the red. Quite a few areas to touch up to do on the cowl but only one on the tail. I will use the decals for the rudder so it will be given a coat of white so the yellow doesn't show through. Testors square bottle enamel was used for both the red and the yellow as well as the white base coat.

Very well done Glenn and as I know, not so easy and quite a fiddly process.

As I've said before, you're masking is always the best

Yes! Beautiful job! That kit would be a nice companion to this one.

Just a quick update.
Last night I masked off the bottom and sprayed the green camo.
