Lovely. Great to see a Spit in different colours.

Re: Brickie's Broche-feu, **24 Feb**
Next up will be to sort out the rudder. White undercoat is already on (but wants another coat as it's picked up the pre-shading and gone a bit murky), then just to mark up for the blue and red stripes.
After that, I'll be Klearing pre-decals; I've not airbrushed Klear before - anything I need to know?

Now that is pretty cool looking.

When I spray Future, I usually thin it 50/50 with isopropyl alcohol, not sure if Klear works the same way. The colors look great! Keep up the good work.

Just waiting for the final colour on the rudder to dry before my next update.

Ah, close enough. Here we are, painting pretty much done bar some touching up.
I may proceed straight to decalling without klear for the sake of time - I'll try a small one in an inconspicuous spot and see how it looks.

Those decals went on pretty well in the end - in fact, they sucked down onto the surface so well that teasing the long white stripes into position was a right bugger.
Time to break out the booze while they dry, then it's props & exhausts, matt-cote, kibbles & bits, stand and we're done.

Yes, it's not bad for 75p a bottle in Tesco.
