Re: Greg dragging his tail.
That's coming along wonderfully! Sanding around those rear windows is a real testament to your steady hand, Greg!
I like the yellow tips too. That's not the easiest color to work with and yours has excellent opacity.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
Cheers guys.
The yellow is Mission Models Highway yellow. That was two thin coats over one coat of white base. I think one more coat will get it.
All the best.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
That for the cabins flow thru ventilation. Honestly Greg I think she's coming long fine.
Re: Greg dragging his tail.
Well. The tricky masking has been done. Just need to find my 1mm tape for the rudder stripes. The rest was done with 2mm. I may be able to get some paint on tonight but it will probably be tomorrow night now.
All the best.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
Nice masking Greg! This is making up to be an eye popper.
Re: Greg dragging his tail.
Cheers Greg. The masking was a pain but not as bad as I thought it would be. I managed to get a coat of yellow on last night and hopefully will get another on tonight. I think it will be three coats then on to the black. then it's assembly and final detail painting Clear-coat, decaling and final clear-coat.
All the best.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
Well, the painting has been done and the masking is off. And suufice to say that had I not been building this for a G/B it would have been shelved. I rubbed down the masking tape. Used decent tape too. And the paint crept under the tape all over the place. It's a mess. I will have loads of touch ups to do all over it. The best thing to do would be a strip and re-paint but I haven't got enough time. Ho well. Back to the bench I go.
All the best.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
Just been doing some touching up. It's an improvement but not perfect. I will do some more tomorow and get the model ready for final assembly. Incidentally it was Tamia 2mm tape I used.
All the best.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
I have finished the paint touch ups and corrected a couple of errors on the paint scheme. Ones I should have spotted earlier, like before I started masking. Pics will be taken tomorrow.
All the best.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
That's a complex paint scheme -- a shame the tape let you down as the pattern masking appeared to be spot on.

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
The masking wasn't far off but if I had done more basic research like look at the side of the box rather than trawling the net I would have prevented the errors I made. Still as least I managed to correct the mistakes freehand to a reasonable degree.
All the best.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
I am back on track and the painting is now sorted after a little bit of touching up of sll three main colours. That has dried and I have put a coat of gloss Galeria varnish on the yellow only as that is the only matt colour. All over coats will be next. I have also done some assembly. The pics show where I am at with the build.
All the best.

Re: Greg dragging his tail.
7am here and first cup of coffee!
WOW very nice! You really pulled that together. Great save on the paint bleeding under the tape. I know how dis heartening it can be to see that. You have to be well pleased at this point. I think the black and yellow are a striking color combination. Waiting to see more.
