Martyn Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Folks, once again thanks for your kind words of encouragement, I really appreciate it. One thing I have noticed about these Montex mask sets is that they do not come with any instructions, so I am gonna try and post each step of the masking process as I go along. First thing I do is apply the outline of the mask and add more masking to stop any over spray going on to the model. Closer one of the snakes head Due to the way the masks are cut, the snake is going to take at least 3 seperate steps just to get the white background colour applied. And finally for now, the first background colour is sprayed on, More to follow, hopefully tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyn Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 View of swastika on tail plane, Main view of 'Sid' Closer view of Sids head Just a few spots to touch up, and the red eyes to add. All in all I think its come out fairly well. Gonna have a bit of a rest now before I mask off the underwing crosses and the fuselage crosses and numbers. Thanks for looking, Cheers , Martyn.
