Looking good. Are these masks into the inner area of the windows? How does the another side look like?

 

[B-17engineer]

No



I have an idea... I just ordered a bottle of liquid masks that should get here in two days. Shall we start with the first camo coat and then when the liquid masks get here I can do that?

With you using Tamiya masking tape H I was wondering if you and all you guy's in the States or UK have the same problem as us Down Under. Can't get the tape without the dispenser and it's expensive.

I have found a supplier in Japan who on occasion has the tape without dispenser. Last time I bought up big and made a saving on local costs even with postage.

Holy crow Vic! Thanks for the link! That's really cheap even for just tape. 1.63

And this is a problem Harry, Masking is OK but it has been done incorrectly.It seems that you didn't understand what you should have done.


We can... But it would be better if the rear windows and the windshield could be attach to the fuselage. However it is possible to attach them when camo can be done.

 

[B-17engineer]

I don't know what to do

Because this weekend I may be on I may not, and if the mask comes I can do that on my own, I can't really do the camo on my own...

Ugh I don't know.

 

[Wurger]

OK Harry.... I'll ask you again.... Have you ever made a copy of a coin on a paper sheet with a pencil?

 

[B-17engineer]

Not a coin but I've done various circles.

 

[Wurger]

Circles?

 

[B-17engineer]

Yes....coins are circles, i've never copied a coin but I have copied circles.?

Wojtek, is there anything else I can do besides masks? Because Vic has been patiently waiting for a turn and I'd like him to get some help with his siggy

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Hey H, you have priority, it's a group build your on and your not going to get out of masking that easy.

 

[B-17engineer]

Alright thanks.

I just think for me, it'll be better with the liquid.

 

[Wurger]

Don't worry. I'll copy with that.

Circles...now I see. But that is not you need to try. I was sure you have never done that earlier that that's way you have to get some training. It is very easy.And it can help you with the cockpit masking.

Take a coin, it would be better if it was a little bigger that 1 US cent. Put the coin and desk and cover with a sheet of paper.It can be a sheet form your exercise book or printer. Then press the sheet with fingers in way to make it immovable
.Then draw with the pencil at area where the coin is under paper.The pencil has to be moving left,right, left and again all over the coin.Hold it in the way the pencil ending was used with its as much as larger surface. The drawing of the coin should appear quite quick. Try to do that and show me the effect please.

 

[B-17engineer]

Ok..............I'll try.

After can we move onto camo and await my order of maskol? Or masks.....again....

 

[Wurger]

We will see Harry.It depends on how you manage to do the training with the coin.

 

[B-17engineer]

I used 5 cent... easier.

Knock out the masking H man and then do the fun stuff. I spent two nights working on my masking. I much rather have been doing something else but masking is worth the effort. Once you get masking down, you will feel good about learning it. I bet yours will turn out better than mine.

Thanks

With homework though I spend 5 hours yesterday masks It's just a nightmare...

 

[Wurger]

Harry. Very nice.

But you didn't read the task carefully I'm afraid. The coin has to covered by the paper ( be under the paper sheet).And you have to use a pencil but not the black marker.

 

[B-17engineer]

Dammit.... ...
