Thanks chaps.
Having never done a 'flying wreck' before, I must confess to wanting to get to that stage too. But patience is a virgin!...or summat like that anyway!
This morning, using a pencil, I marked out the splinter camouflage and then with a small flat headed brush, I freehand painted on the RLM 70. I had a look at the pattern, but no two patterns were exactly alike, so I've gone for an estimate! Near enough for me......
Brush painting tip No.2
When painting straight lines freehand, always load up the brush well with paint. Then with just one pass of the brush, paint the line. If you try and paint it slowly you will start to shake. Work quickly, and
DON'T go over it a second time! Leave well alone.
Any pencil lines can be removed with a bit of spit - Preferably when the paint is dry.....
Next the
decals. I tend to leave the canopies until the very last.
Cheers.
