Cheers guys...! Will be painting it shortly, as soon as I "wake" after dozing off for a while....

Very neat masking Jan, I'm impressed! Have a couple of pints of Liffey Water, then get to it mate!

 

[Lucky13]

Cheers Terry, much obliged!

Ach....b*ll*cks! The red felt completely different from the other Vallejo paints, felt like spraying water. Which, in turn, made me lay it on slightly to thick, which was followed by bleading.... Oh well, nothing that can't be fixed by topping up with the white in a day or two....

All in good fun and the famous dead man's learning curve....

Well you have your ups and you have your downs....you'll be right jan.... keep up the good work!

 

[Catch22]

Don't worry too much about the whiteJan, they wouldn't be perfect. Looks good!

 

[Lucky13]

Thanks guys...appreciated! Even with the ups and down, I really enjoy the building, much to do with all you guys here on the forum. Do some work on the '109 tomorrow me think....and maybe the "other" '190.

Jan, I hope u made those stripes uneven and spaced at odd gaps, cause they were infact not perfect... My white stipes are uneven, cockeyed and not neat, as it should be....

 

[lesofprimus]

And its lookin good so far, some touch up on the white and ur covered man...

 

[Airframes]

Agree with all, looking splendid, old chap! Must have had some patience doing that stripe masking in 1/48th - I'd hate to think what it would be like in 1/72nd tiny-tot scale!

 

[109ROAMING]

Looks great Jan! Bet it felt Great peeling those strips off?

 

[javlin]

I had the same problem over thinning some yellow the other day made one really have to play that trigger soft.The plane is really looking good I never have tried to tackle that paint scheme myself.Good work thus far.Kevin

 

[Heinz]

Good work Jan, looks the goods mate!

 

[Njaco]

Looks great Jan! Besides its a lots easier touching up some white here and there than trying to hand brush the bloody lines altogether!

 

[Lucky13]

Thanks a million guys....appreciated! Think that I'll leave the Dora until tomorrow and top up the white lines then. Just can't decide if I should go with the smallest brush that I have, or mask the worst parts off and "dust" it over with the airbrush and then where it's needed use the brush.....decisions, decisions..

 

[Airframes]

Two pints of Guinness and a wee dram. Decision made!

 

[Lucky13]

I'll have the same...!

 

[Wayne Little]

if you're gonna do it do it right my good man!

 

[lesofprimus]

Spray it again Jan, dont cut corners now.....

 

[Lucky13]

Gonna spray it again shortly and add some more paint to the '109....think that went too low with the RLM76 with the camouflage that I'm doing....
