Masking for the second shade of NMF underway. An hour of work and the top pf the wings and nacelles finished. This is going to take a few sessions.

Just a lot of tedious masking Vic. I can only do it for an our at a time without losing my mind

You're the Wiz a masking Glenn. I just masked the clear parts on a 1:48 P-40B and it took two days

I found some time last night to finish up the masking, and it is ready to spray on the bright silver.

Thanks guys
Sprayed on the bright silver last night and peeled off the masking (one of my favorite things to do). I had the canopy all masked up but forgot to spray it. It will have to wait until I get the airbrush out next time.
Next step is the anti-glare paint on the nose and nacelles.
