Neat interior and paint work Andy .
Thanks Richard. I'm planning on a flat or satin coat after the wash to aid further weathering. I think I made the mistake on my Beaufighter of trying to use oil paints on top of gloss which I guess is why they came off far too easily.Andy, remember to seal the wash with varnish once you're happy with the outcome to be able to handle the kit. I've got sweaty hands so it's a must for me.
Cheers,
Richard
You’ve got a punch-and-die set, if I’m not mistaken? You can use that to make some circles from masking tape, if it has punches about the right size.And I painted up the light units for the underside. Clear coloured centres with a silver mounting ring. Tricky! There are some masks included in the kit but cutting them out and placing them accurately would probably have been even harder.
You could also use unused areas of the Tamiya-supplied sheet, as that’s got a backing to it that will prevent the mask sticking to the punch or the die.I've just checked and the largest punch would just have been big enough for the smallest lights. I'll store that one up for next time thanks, along with Pete's method of sticking it to some thin plastic.
