Until my xtracrylix curse struck again!!! I had even re-flatted and mixed it properly and it even sprayed ok and I was happy....not now....need another beer!


 
A good work so far. I hope the blue paint on undersides is hardened fully. Unfortunately paper towels like sticking to quite fresh acrylic colours.

Oops.. we criss-crossed posts. But as I said above...

Here you are a better stand for keeping a model during painting and hardening of colours... a couple of toothpicks and a piece of the Styrofoam.








 
Yeah, i tend to find when balancing it like I have the aircraft have a tendancy to move quite a bit! Then its just the spraying to get right!
 
Looking great although both of the camo layouts look a little bit strange methinks. Have you followed any pictures or profiles?
 
Looking good, but I agree about the patterns. Here's a diagram showing the basic pattern, and the 'mirror image' pattern was the same, but reversed port to starboard.
