So, there's a lot of paint on this beast now. Many
many thin coats. The gloss nature of the Xtracrylics paint is great at highlighting where the surface isn't smooth. A quick local sand and then a few more coats of paint and the paint finish is good as new. Xtracrylics is quite forgiving like that.
So, sky finished, DSG finished and 1 coat of EDSG added. Progress this evening has not been helped by painting the
port <Edit: Starboard, d*mn it! Starboard /Edit> wing scheme in reversed colours. So, another couple of coats of DSG and then repaint the EDSG. I don't think you'd be able to tell, although I doubt much of the scribing will be visible when I'm finished. Here it is:
Tomorrow will start with a couple more coats of EDSG, some detail painting and then it's almost time for decals. This won't be finished in time for the end of the GB, but given the work that's gone into it: a) I'm not surprised, and b) I don't want to b**ger it up by rushing to finish at this stage.
regards,
Martin
