BloorwestSiR Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 My preference for doing roundels is with masks and painting them on. I'm using the Montex mask set for the markings. The codes for the plane have a thin white border around them. Montex give you decals for them as well as masks just in case you find it too hard to work with the thin outline mask. The completed markings all painted. I still have stencils and wing walkways to add. Carl Gazzas, Erwin, MikeC and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bevan and Gaz! I always prefer the look of painted markings to decals so I don't mind the extra bit of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Thanks to some self inflicted challenges, namely losing one of the gear legs I'm fitting a spare set of Tamiya ones to the plane. This involves loping the top off the Tamiya leg and grafting on the top of the Revell one. Since the Tamiya leg has a metal rod for support, I drilled a hole in the Revell bit and they were glued and pinned together. While those dried, I painted on the wing walkways lines using Tamiya Rubber Black. Erwin, MikeC and LSP_Kevin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Great work! And fast, too! Is there any chance you can get a length and maximum width on those lower gun blisters? I'm wondering if I can use them on another project... BloorwestSiR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
