Right major update.

Now to get rid of them unsightly gaps.

Primer on found some ugly bits to sort.

New zebra cammo

gaps filled with streched sprew and putty plus some thinned putty for the nooks and crannys

Wish my hands didn't shake so much think i might brush the lines on next time, if there's a next time.

Armour is calling me from under the table.

Thanks for looking

That looks really nice Martin. I know what you mean about shaky hands, it's always when you're concentrating the most!

looks good so far. I've heard horror stories about the fit of engine nacelles with this kit. Don't worry about the shaky preshading - you don't have to be accurate and precise with this method as the main focus is painting the insides of the panels. And getting just the right amount of preshade to be seen through layers of paint. Keep up the good work!

I can see preshading - nice job. I always seem to loose my preshading !

 

[Buttonman]

thanks guys it's all thanks to you with your tips,

I used heavely thinned val model air with low pressure then nicely controled strokes with me AB so not to flood but gently cover the panels, Then just fill in the middle of the panels to keep the preshading just visible.

Not finished yet tho gonna give it a sand wash after the crosses are fixed and a coat of matt varnish.

thanks again guys you're great tutors

Great work Martin. The canopy must have been quite difficult to mask but it has come out a treat.
