Back on this. Sorted the seams out and now painting. Working on the underneath first then the top will be a two colour camo.
I'm used to brush painting Vallejo Model colours but for this model I'm using Vallejo Air paint as they had the best colour match.
They're obviously thinner as they're designed for airbrush use but I'm brush painting as is my norm. I have noticed that there is a massive difference in thickness between the various colours and some colours needing double the coats. I don't really understand why paints from the same manufacturer would be so different, not that it's a problem for me.

Underneath completed now. I'm going tonoet this cure for a day or so, then mask up to paint the top.
That's looking nice. I know thin paint looks awful when first applied, but as you know, that's the way to do it.

I'm struggling to motivate myself to get to the bench these days but I managed some time yesterday.
Painted the upper of the aircraft now. I'll let this cure today, then mask up and paint the camo.
I brush painted as is usual and free handed the cockpit with a mask There is a little tidying up to do but I find that Vallejo paint is relatively easy to scrape off a cockpit window with a thin cotton bud.
