Thanks Andy, didn't realise it was as dramatic as that. At least I'm forearmed for next time.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Many thanks gents. Looking back on the thread I realised that Wayne had warned me about the sawtooth wing camo which I miss read thinking he was talking of the wing leading edge, so when Andy kindly prodded me with a pic of the sawtooth for the future, I got to thinking of how much work would be involved in fixing it. When it came down to it, not much. So folks, what follows is the fix.

First the masking and a light spray along the leading edge of RLM 76 Light Blue.

Now the lighter coat of RLM 75 Grey applied.

Masks cut and positioned for the sawtooth effect.

The finished correction.

Now to fit the seat harnesses!

 

[fubar57]

Wow!!!!

 

[Crimea_River]

That was well worth the extra step Vic. Looks good.

 

[A4K]

Wow, that's some masking job! Well done Vic.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Many tanks gents and it was you George and Andy that made it such an easy job by putting me onto the Oramask Stencil Film, works a treat.

Having said that I've got the remaining seat harnesses fitted. Now we can start on the decals.

 

[fubar57]

Love them belts, Vic

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Thanks George.

Hard to decide, the G-6 Erla flown by G. Barkhorn hadn't this camo, it was more "softer"

It's the reason I used scissors for my Finnish Erla project
