The Dornier production line is up and running again after almost 2 1/2 years! (and I hope I can keep it running)
I was cleaning up my bench last weekend and found the three unfinished Dornier's buried there. This one was ready for the masking to come off so I pulled it off last night. The Tamiya tape gave me a bit of a struggle. I guess 2 1/52 years is a bit much. With my FW-190 finished early I hope to work my way through a few of my unfinished kits.

Bad enough i 1/48, can't imagine masking that in 1/72 !

It did take a bit of time. It took the better part of an hour just to take them off last night

A lot of masking and painting on the Dornier production line this weekend
First, masked off the bottom of the Z
Painted the RLM 71
Masked off the RLM 71 for the RLM 70
RLM 70 painted, the masking removed and ready to start the decaling prosses

Even more masking and painting this weekend
The underside of the E masked off and red sprayed on the tail
The red tail masked off and RLM 63 sprayed on
I was really starting to like the Vallejo Model Air paints when this happened while re-positioning masking. It was probably my fault for treating the masking like I was still using enamels. After this I reduced the stickiness of all the tape first and did not have a problem
The paint repaired and masking to cover the RLM 63 done
RLM 62 sprayed on. After this cures I will mask for the RLM 61. It may be a few days as I'm about fed up with masking right now!

Good stuff. Glenn. I detack the bejaysus out of the tape, almost to the point that it barely sticks. I also wait a minimum of 24 hours after spraying before I start to mask

Ok, so I couldn't wait a few days. Masked for the last camo color, sprayed it on and removed all the masking except the windows. There are a couple of very small bits of paint lift that can easily be touched up so I'm happy with it.
