Blu tak masking, some repairs to do but that's my fault because I hate masking and rushed it

Good work so far!

That looks good but OH how I hate Blu Tack, do you no find it leaves a bit of an oily film on the paint.

I like the different shades into the green, looks like a used plane

I have found that in the past yes, but I think it's OK now I use acrylic paint

I'm thinking that with your painting skills and especially at this scale, a freehand airbrushed demarcation would turn out just fine. I do this in 1/48 and I think it works:

Great work , I use the blu tak to make sure I get a good line that isn't too solid

What wonderful results, the details and colors are fantastic. There are lessons to be learned in this build!!!

I totally agree! Really nice upgrades, I'm going to need to look at your photos more than once. I've preordered the Airfix 1/24 scale Spitfire MkIX and looking forward to being able to enhance that model more than I have in the past.

You are motoring along on this masterpiece.
Turning into a masterclass for us along with many others.
May I say, I am happy you found us here at WW2.
I can never get my paint to be transparent enough to show undershading.
Well done. I'm gonna have to rethink my masking methods.

Thank you I'm very glad you like it so far, I like to spray at a fairly high pressure adding the paint as thinnly as possible building up the colour very slowly and stopping before I think it's enough and leaving it while I go for a cup of tea. Then take another look with fresh eyes,

I've disassembled ready to start adding the markings etc but couldn't resist seeing how the nose gun's look, the nose cone I will fix in place but the top panel will be removable
