Wow! Amazing stuff Paul! You're attention to detail is awesome as is your workmanship.
Lovely straight lines on the pre-shading too.

Really nice work Paul, do you use airbrush for the preshading?\ said:And finally we have some primer on the 2 going in the dio, plus pre shading. The 3rd Spit (photo Spit) is ready for masking and should be primed this weekend.
Hopefully this weekend we should have some top coat on them. It's been a while since i painted an aircraft Dk Green and Earth and I'm strangely excited about it. I'm also going to be painting all the markings apart from the serial numbers
Hope to get a bit done this weekend.
Cheers

ps. Thanks everyone who has commented on this rather stop start build.
Hi Phikoleoputra. Yes, the preshading was airbrushed using my Iwata Custom Micron AB, Life Color paint thinned approx 2:1 paint to thinner, pressure around 18psi. Hope this helps.Really nice work Paul, do you use airbrush for the preshading?
Hi Brian, the kit is really nice to put together, it will need a little work to backdate it to a Mk1 (should you want to) but nothing too taxing. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy the build.I also have this kit and look forward to building
Trying something new with these builds. The markings aren't decals I'm sirbrushing the roundels, flashes and codes on. I guess I can take your not noticing as a sign that the mask work is ok!??Very, very nice Paul what a difference those decals make they are really come to life.
Tony, the masks were made by me on my plotter. To be fair the masks are as good as Montex, the major issue has been the process, which as I say is very long winded. I had originally planned on using decals throughout but thought I'd give this a go.The painted markings look superb Paul , is it a readily available mask set like Montex or have you had to make your own?
No worries Vaughan - I'm glad you like them. Thanks Rich, Tone - I do hope these 3 are worth the wait!My mistake Paul Great masking I ment to say.
