Weather in the low-forties today - time to get the airbrush out!!
I spent last week working on various sundries. One thing I realised was that there was no way I was going to get the torpedo to look right, and lacking conclusive photographic evidence of how it looks mounted, I chickened out and used the closed bomb bay doors....
I spent yesterday masking off the canopies. I have discovered that I'm not that good at free-handing canopy frames and the endless hours spent cutting Tamiya tape to size IS actually worth the effort.....
So I airbrushed both camo colours today, and added some subtle post-shading on the major panel lines.
Anyways, here is where we stand at the mo:
There's a little touching up to do on the canopy frames, but not too bad:
The white plasticard semi-circles are to help mount the engine cowlings. Note that the nose transparency's MG survived all the banging about during the masking/painting process!
Decals on later, then time for fiddly bits. I think I might actually get this done by Friday, before I go on vacation....
