I quite like the size with the plane at that angle.

 

[wellsyman]

So what do you think just leave it as it is

 

[papa 695]

Looking at it i would say you need to extend it by at least 4 more boards to fit it in when the wheels are on other than that like Gav says it looks good like that

 

[wellsyman]

I will get on with the plane and see how it looks cheers steve

 

[wellsyman]

Which way is the easy way off camo? cheers steve

 

[stona]

thanks stona blue tack sausages covered with Masking tape not a bad idea no what a brill idea thank cheers steve

 

[stona]

I can't take credit for the idea,in one form or another it's been around for years!

A couple of tips. Make sure your hands are clean as the Blu-Tac wil transfer muckiness to the model. Spray the light colour (Ocean Grey) first and remember when you lay out the 'sausages that they are covering that i.e. the sausage is part of the grey. The outer edge of the sausage is the edge of the Dark Green. It's surprising how often people get the grey areas too big and the green too small.

Cheers

Steve

Hi

Firstly give yourself some credit it's looking good. Engine is very realistic I like the exhaust stacks. Camo is coming on and I like the machine gun detail. Keep up the good work.

Vaughan
