Coming on nicely Barry. Got to love black basing as technique. Tried it for the first time recently on a black finish and it worked very well.The trick here is to give interest to this solid black appearance.
First I did some shading with RLM66 sprayed into the centre of panels. I did rather more on the topside than the underside, as that would likely be exposed to sun fading.

Next up I did a mist coat of RAF Night Black (it is very close to the USAAF Jet Black that I ran out of). This helps blend the appearance and tone down the contrast.

Next I will mask up to paint the walk lines red. There will be some small hand painted details to add before I then apply decals which I will do straight onto the paint.
Washes etc will follow the decalling.
I will use the MRP red oxide primer which will cover well. Then I will use insignia red over the top.Barry, a question if I may ?
when you paint the walkway lines do you lay a white undercoat down first, then cover over with the red colour, or do you use multiple thin coats of red to build them up ?
thx
