Woody V Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 The -3 was my first build after returning to the hobby. I approached it like I would have an old Revell build and found it a pretty decent kit of an unfairly maligned aircraft.

I had a similar problem and used the masks to make decals. Worked great, super thin and saved my bacon. I described how I did this on Page 7 of THE BUILD.

Vince Blackburn Posted April 18, 2022 Author Share Posted April 18, 2022 A belated Happy Easter to you all. I've been busy over the weekend getting lots completed a pair of drop tanks ready for installation followed by all the little bits 1x propeller 3x masts 1x pitot tube 2x nav. lights 1x canopy rear section This was followed up by starting the exhaust stains with oils which wasn't giving me the effect needed so they were completed with Tamiya smoke and Tamiya Dark Earth Last picture shows the Martlet 3 which is catching up nicely' decal roundels throughout although the fuselage ones where laid over a white disc of paint due to the dark colours underneath the fin flash was masked and sprayed using Tamiya acrylics, "F" was the same but this took an hour and twenty minutes to mask two "F's" and three minutes to spray them white. Regardless very pleased with the outcome. Fanes, scvrobeson, Landrotten Highlander and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
