Re: Lockheed PV1 Ventura and Mil Mi-1 Hare
An excellent pair, Barry and I especially like the paintwork on the Ventura - is the demarcation between the upper and lower surfaces freehand sprayed?
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

No, I used Tamiya tape to mask, but laid a thread under the tape (about 1.5-2mm from the edge) to lift it a little and allow the soft edge demarcation.

Love the Hare too, not a type we see very often.

The Ventura is very pretty. The thread+tape idea is duly stolen. The Mil is less pretty but still a very neat little model
