Ians Zebra * * Complete * *

Post by Ian »

OK, so it's not a zebra but it does have lots of black and white stripes!

Start time - some time tomorrow morning after the ironing is done.

Hey, it's great to see you back Ian. It's always good to see a blitzer doing a boat but those stripes are likely to send you barking. Best of luck with it!

nice choice, do the stripes come on decals or is it a case of mask and paint :shock:

Dirk, no decals. I have to cut my own masking from Tamiya tape. There's no way I would attempt that scheme free-hand!
I am planning on launching at some point between 10:00 and 11:00 ZULU.

It's my day off tomorrow so I'll try to get my lazy backside out of bed to see the start. 1000 to 1100 Zulus eh? That's a lot. I don't fancy my chances but I'll give 'em hell.

Mark, it's definitely one or the other. I've been into the loft and pulled out the black and white rattle cans. I've organised what paints I need. Just need the little Ian to finish his homework then I can get the dining table sorted out ready for the morning. No need to worry about the ironing now as I did it earlier. I just hope tomorrow is not wet as I'll need to spray in the garden. I also hope not to run out of masking tape.
As for the madness, Splash, I am slowly getting better!

That paint scheme is gonna need some prior planning and preparation to prevent a poor performance. Good luck.
