Azgaron Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 A little bit of progress! The propeller, spinner and bombs got a clear cote. So, now they're ready for decals. I started painting different metal shades. I think I'll keep it there and start painting the nose next.

Azgaron Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 After masking and primning, and sanding and priming again, I could finally paint some yellow. Then I masked some more and painted black. Some of the tape was removed. Then I masked for the OD field going over the top and the spine. So how did it turn out after the tape was removed? I say, quite nice! So, now I prepare for decals. One thing I just noticed when looking at pics of the real plane was the prolonged fin going over the spine. There's a part for it in the kit, but I can't recall the instructions saying anything about it. I'll just leave it as it is.

Looks good Håkan Azgaron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azgaron Posted Tuesday at 10:45 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 10:45 AM I've started adding decals, and the underside is done! I had a little problem getting the stripes sit right and part of one decal broke. I think I need to touch up with some colour later. Now I'll let these ones dry before continuing with the other decals. Håkan denders, Fanes, Shoggz and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azgaron Posted Thursday at 03:23 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 03:23 PM I've continued with the decals. First one side. Then the other side. I added the other decalled parts. Now the only missing decals are those for the lights under the wing. For some reason a bit of the second skull decal is missing. I'm not sure why and I it didn't look like it was folded behind or something like that. I just have to try and sort it with a fine brush and black colour. Soon time for a protective clear cote, final assembly and some weathering.
