It may be tedious but that paintwork is looking great.

That camo is coming on well.

Thanks gents. It's mindless, laborious work but once it's done I'll be on the home stretch.

Found some time in the middle of an insane-o week (starting new job) to finish the camo. Hope to have all the other bits done by the end of Sunday.

The beauty of this splotchy pattern is that it very effectively hides the terrible job I did of filling and sanding some of the seams, which the silver revealed in all its glaring shame

Strewth that's a labour of love and no mistake. Great work.

[VickersVandal]

Yeah, my neck hurts.......

I have to say, it looks very evenly random (in a good way) if that makes any sense at all?

That camo looks well.
I find its a temptation to increase the size of the splodges as one gets on with it, to get it over and done with. Your camo job doesn't show any of that.

[Molly-new]

Lovely paint job.

[fredk]

VV, we have the time extension, so don't rush at the end and ruin your excellent work.

[VickersVandal]

Thanks. The only thing that could bring me undone now is decals. My printer ate the paper when I tried to print last night....

[fredk]

ooh, thats a real bummer, Always happens when you really don't need that type of hassle. Hoping you can get it sorted.

[VickersVandal]

They printed........sorta.

I may have to resort to masking for the rudder stripes, which will drag the build out slightly

[VickersVandal]

Two layers of white decal film, then insignia decal on top. Seems to be working. Phew!

On track to finish tomorrow night. Katiuska is looking pretty and just needs a little more dressing...
