Fanes Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 The masks are cut and I started painting the insignia. First of: a white marble: Followed by a blend coat with Gunze's off white That's it for now. I'm moving tomorrow and it may take one or two weeks until I get my workbench set up again.

Neo Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 It the second tiime i do paint masks and i always forget that this is the correct way to go. I still have a tendency to use then as decals at the end. Good progress. That black looks really shiny Fanes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a lot of courage to polish the edges of the insignia on my Bf109 after painting the white at last. We'll see how these here will turn out. No new pictures so far, but I started applying the masks and hopefully I can set up my new workbench after my vacation next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 interesting approach to the masks, and i get why i guess the problem is one of lining them up and location on some schemes this will be easy, but if they have to be in specific places re certain bits of camo etc, sometimes that might be difficult I'm no sure? i do like the idea that you still get to black base / marble this way - that's pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanes Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Finally an update! Modelling is limited to the weekends right now but there is progress. Masks apllied for the wing crosses: Followed by a coat of greyish black (50:50 Tamiya XF-69 and X-18) And the first mask pulled on the fuselage codes (ignore the two black spots; they're already gone) It's still missing the fuselage crosses but apart from that all insignia is painted and prepped for the next colour - RLM78 for the undesides. Stay tuned and be patient Cheers Joachim BradG, mozart, Isar 30/07 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
