vvwse4 Posted May 12, 2010 Author Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks Jeroen, balls of steel, hmm gotta find me a rusty women right? Hubert, I hope you're right about the finish. Let's continue, got the wind in the sails and I am making some real progress. Checked everything in daylight and it looked allright to me. So got the green paint out. And after that there is the irresitable urge to get rid of the masking tape, so tried the upper wing first. That wasn't all too bad so a little bit more Ahh whatever, get it all off. Looks kinda good so far. So it took me quite a lot of hours masking, one hour and a half for the painting and 45 minutes too get the tape off. Left with this Hope you like it. Rick.

vvwse4 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Put some colour on the SPAD. Only the hat in the ring symbol is a decal, the roundels are airbrushed. The topwing is loose fit just for the picture and to get an idea how it will turn out. Rick.
