Looks very good, the camo is nice and sharp and straight, so very well done for your third ever attempt at camouflage

Excellent job Mark. Camo looks top class.

Thanks guys really enjoying this one.

Hi Mark
Great looking camo. Always stressful when masking is removed. Wonderful feeling when it works as well as this.

Gloss coat on, wingtanks painted also the nicely moulded canopies which have raised detail inside as well. Nose painted in white as well.

OK so this wasnt something I was planning to do although painting decals does look better if you can pull it off,couldn't get the decals on the engine intakes to go down without creasing so I gave up decided to paint them,not something I've done before so I've got my fingers crossed! So far I've got this!
And need to get to this!

So far so good.

Hi Mark
As you say painted markings do look better than decals. I am certain you'll be successful. Just take time and care with the masking and plan well.

The next colour on, I'll leave it till tomorrow to dry before more mask and applying the blue,by then my punch set should have arrived for when I'm ready for the orange centre.

 

[Mark1]

Not perfect but time I've done the orange and a little touching up then done a matt coat I'll be able to live with it ,some weathering to dirty them up a bit. That's my first go and know how I can improve the next time so it's all good.

 

[Jakko]

That’s not looking bad at all. A little touching up of the white and it’ll be fine.

 

[adt70hk]

No complaints from me Mark. A little bit of bleed as you say but considering it was your first attempt, very well done.

Mark,
First class build and paint. As you say a bit of touching up to clean up the bleed under.
We used to watch and photograph 104's at Alconbury in the days before protesters and field invasions, just sitting on a three bar fence waiting for the next surprise to arrive.
