It's the revell/frog Heinkel 111 being built as part of a shared build with Lancfan

The body has now been sprayed white as a good base coat for the red and blue.

This will give me time to think about how to mask the different colours.

A quick mask and spray has got me this far, slight paint bleed that will be easy to fix, now how do I make a hart mask?
