I've been busy masking and painting over the last week and finished it today. Here is the sequence of the painting
White sprayed at the invasion stripe locations
Masking for the 18" black stripes using a digital caliper. It works out to .25 or 1/4 inch in 1/72nd scale.
Masked off for overspray
Black stripes sprayed on
Black stripes unmasked. Somewhere along here I masked off and sprayed the sky for the little bit of the fuselage band that is still visible at the aft end of the Invasion stripes
Invasion striped masked off for camouflage painting
Medium sea gray sprayed on the underside
The ocean gray has been painted and the masking for the dark green put on. It's a combination of paper masks made from a print-out of the camo pattern and masking tape.
Masking for the dark green removed leaving on the invasion stripe masking
The wing leading edges masked and sprayed yellow
All the masking removed and ready to start the decal process
