Yep! Masking sure is a pain at times, one of the joys of modelling but the outcome is well worth it.

Beauty and agree about the masking. I've looked at the rear clear part on my Il-2 three times and walked away. Its missing some frame lines and others don't look right

Looking good Greg, though if you painted the gear casing on the Hercules engines grey, they should actually be black.

DOH! I'll get on that once the main painting is done and the mask is off. Thanks Andy

Nice Greg what are you using to demarcate your color, I won't say what it looks like

Beauty. I can never get those worms to stick on the model

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Looking good Greg and what is it your using to make those worms.

Thanks guys. The worms are a product called Blu Tac. A bit like modelling clay but sticky. Cheers Greg

I used to use Blu Tac Greg but found it left a grease line when removed. This could possibly be because the Blu Tac is a couple of decades old as I also find it very sticky.

Hi Vic, yeah I've had that grease line too. Usually when it's old blu tac and has been left on for too long. Using masking tape alone usually leaves too hard a line or sometimes a raised ridge of paint that I've found id hard to get rid of.

So on to the unmasking.,...

The engine pods are just attached with blu tac at the moment. Next will be a gloss coat for the decals
