Nicely done Clash!
I sometimes have to do this, its all about tucking UK the masking tape and spreying away from the masked area I've found works for me.

Thank you gents. Yesterdays work had the silver leading edges put on

Small touch up required on the port side. Todays effort would have me getting the red on the intake fronts were it not for a leaking toilet cistern :cry: I hate doing plumbing jobs. You think you've fixed it and got everything just back how it was, but no the leak is still there :evil: It's too hot for this kind of work. Rant over.
More later

Nice work touching up that Cougar, Nigel :shock: :ha: I'll need to get my Hase one off the Shelf of Doom now that I have the technology to finally make the tartan tail markings

Great progress with this, Nigel. Too hot? just the opposite up here, I had to dig out the portable heater this afternoon in flagrant defiance of the Household Chancellor's electricity usage dictat - I'm so brave when she's out :ha:

That's my worst job when painting any aircraft that needs leading edges in a different colour/finish! A tiny bit of touch up is always to be expected; in my case usually most of the wing.... :roll:

It was 12 degrees here in MK earlier; I walked to the hospital in shirtsleeves :grin:

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Started the decalling on this today

The black walkway was done with a black Sharpie. I probably should have let it dry for a day or two before spraying a gloss varnish over it. I'll touch up with black paint later. The decals behaved well, only one "N" in the NAVY titles, and the white swoosh on the tail broke a little. Should get the rest on tomorrow :grin:
Colourful aint it? Still need to find a suitable stand to mount it on. I've got a piece of acrylic already.

That really is a very striking scheme and looks great, Nigel. There'll be no missing that one in your collection!

Hmmmm?! I was thinking how nice a kit that is and how I'd like to make another, something about the decals on the tail is making me think, "Just do it!" :???:
