Thank you spartacus2000 great info, I found also this drawing for earlier version and no evidence of that detail so I guess  will be filling  and deleting it,  thanks so much for your help again, cheers 

[Antonio Argudo]

after some more research I think it is clear that detail should be gone 

[Antonio Argudo]

after a break, I put a XF62 base color

 

 

next some Neutral grey, cheers

[Antonio Argudo]

couldn't resist to weather that OD

Thanks Kev, it's paint time, finally 

 

my first insignia paint with a mask, my fault didn't aligned it perfectly but it's ok lol, after you try  there's no point back to decals ever....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers

Hi Antonio.

to prevent white from showing on the edges below the blue I usually mask the outline of the mask 0.5mm or so on.

Your work is still impeccable, the masks give the model a finish that the decals, even if perfect, fail to give

That really looks fantastic!  What colors did you use in the marbling and weathering of this?  Did you base the XF-62 with something or do any sandwich shading?

thanks mate, I used Gunze H-304 over the tamiya base, I have applied some ink filter to make the OD more brownish, next is to paint full invasion stripes and cover them with RAF Dark green  but also still kinda translucent  and evident what's underneath  

thanks for watching , cheers

Hi Antonio I don't know if it is a desired effect but it seems to me that the central area of the wings on the right and left are greener than the external areas that have a decidedly brown dominant.
Maybe it's a photo effect but it looks like this on my monitor.

 Yes,  that was on intentionally, there was a lot of repaint done in those Razorbacks, here it is a real example from a P51B ammo wing panel, you can see the OD(brownish shade)  the invasion stripes (black and white) and the top layer of RAF Dark Green paint, so that's what is my aim  cheers

I assumed it was a desired effect.
Great job, I really like it

Can you explain this?  I am getting ready to do my first mask markings.  

 

Thanks
