I have sprayed the underside of the model, unfortunately I got the amount of paint wrong and I ended up putting it on a little too thickly, so the pre shading was a bit of a waste of time!
I then turned to the camoflage. Now the kit instructions are 80% of this colour, 10% of that and another 10% of something else. Unfortunately the colour came out as
a bit too green for sea grey! But the pre shading had worked brilliantly!! Success.
I gave it a very light coat of grey to tone the green down which has worked ok, but has obliterated the pre shading! Doh.
A few bluetack sausages and a bit of masking later and we have
and
I was very carefull to remove the vaseline but it looks like I got it onto the planes fuselage, unless it "bled" somehow. I'm not too impressed with it Those edges need cleaning up. I have tried copydex on something else and that has worked like a charm so I won't be using the vaseline again.
You can actually make out the seat belts in this pic!
The next step is to paint a few bits and pieces (yellow on the leading edges, white stripes on the wings and fuselage rather than transfers) and finish the build before trying my hand at some detailing.
