Looks good so far. Are you planning any more coats?
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

I'm tempted to give it two more very thin coats.TobyC wrote:Looks good so far. Are you planning any more coats?

A final thin coat of 209 and I'm happy with the colour.

Not wanting to risk tape on the Humbrol paint I have broken out the hairy stick to see what it will look like after a coat of blue.

Re: Splash's Whirlwind HAS9
Rule number one, always check before you paint 
I was looking at the nose and suddenly realised that I had painted the blue to far forward
So a quick white prime and several coats of orange has got me to this stage.
One of the good things about spraying acrylics is the quick drying times, I cheat and use a hair drier to speed up the process and can lay down three coats in about 10 minutes.

Re: Splash's Whirlwind HAS9
The bulk of the build is complete and I'm happy with how it's turning out.

Rightfully so Alan. Beautiful work.
