Hello again my fellow modellers:

Here's the weekly update of the kite "Arabesken" paint works.

Before the applying the RLM 76 in the kites surfaces, first I made several paint blends, (as well as changing the air brush along with a 2mm nozzle), in an old kite model.

After several tests I found that the best mix was 40% of paint and the rest of distilled water, not thinner. This decision was based that it's easier to clean the thin paint that does not atomize where it is needed or that does not blend properly.

Without further adue, here are the images of the Wellesmuster camouflage as in its "Arabesken" type that I thought appropriate for this kite.

These works were performed in four days between the paint and cleaning works.

The original plan to emulate the 1H + BR had to be changed dur that the last letter ended in my fingers along the paint works. Now this kite will end up being the + BH.

Also, the Yellow "B", will receive a second black "B" inside the yellow colour.

Then the complete surface received a gloss varnish in order to receive the stencils and the washes that are planned to be applied with oil paints in order to tone down the recently applied RLM 76 (and to camouflage some paint mistakes :laughing6:) .

Greetings and please have a great week my friends.
