Thanks all. Masking up the clear parts. Little Public Service Announcement here......never sneeze with a mouthful of toothpaste.

so you can mask a canopy whilst brushing your teeth, very impressive !

 

[fubar57]

Last of the colour spraying is done. Not wanting to risk a respray, I masked the entire model. Masking the canopy was a right pain in the keester. I sprayed it off the model and used the spare canopy as a mask

PS .. Have you paint the inner flaps with the blue?

 

[fubar57]

Thanks guys

P.S. just one. I ran outta paint and I'm heading back to camp tonight

Added panel liner to the front of the aircraft as the wing area seems to be the most active area. I only have dark brown which I feel would be too stark and two greys, too light so I mixed brown with light grey. I also used it too try make scuff marks but while it shows up in real life, not so much in the photos

​

All done for the week and the end of three week vacation. Have a good week gentlemen

I just pictured an angry "Dangerous" Dan McGrew kicking down the door of his cabin (frightening the Kodiak bears) trudging into the 12 foot drifts muttering "no ******* paint. ****, just go to work."

Great stuff Geo. The panel line accents are spot on. Well done.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Sure looks good George. Have a safe week.

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good so far George!

 

[Wayne Little]

Looking good Geo.

 

[Viking1066]

Outstanding work George!

Thanks guys. Crappy tour. Spent most of the time capping roads with only one wiggle wagon running which meant a load every 15-20 minutes. Anyhoo....formation and ID lights. I was unaware of the blue light on top of each wing. Under the wing, I didn't have any clear orange so I mixed clear red and yeller

 

[SaparotRob]

I guess the blue light doesn't really stand out against the blue wing much.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looks good Geo. I do the same with my orange lights.

 

[fubar57]

I guess the blue light doesn't really stand out against the blue wing much.

I only noticed it as I was confirming the colours for under the wing. It is shown in the instructions but who reads those
