Good luck with that...... then its green blob time !
You're braver than me, I just picked a scheme that didn't have a spiral!Coming on nicely,the one and only spinner decal I had a go at ended up in the bin...after I managed to get all bits off my fingers
Very neat!!! Although they could be VERY roughly done!!Got the airframe gloss coated ready for the decals and been doing my first ever spinner spiral decal - theyre a bit of a faff arent they !?
Tomorrow I can get some decals on and then its green blob time !View attachment 457043View attachment 457044
BLIMEY... That's SO coolThe balkenkreuz that needed fitting before I spray the green got fitted this morning before I went to work . Tonight theyve dried thoroughly so it was time to get the green blotches on .I turned the airbrush needle stop right in so there was only a fraction of movement and turned the air down a bit . The paint was thinned and a good few drops of flow improver added and off we went. I had to keep cleaning the needle tip and nozzle as the paint was drying on the needle and clogging but eventually got there . Ive assembled the prop and spinner / engine fan . The spiral on the spinner was a little short at the prop end so it was finished off with a touch of white .
The centreline bomb rack has been fitted and the black sections behind the exhaust have been painted . Next job is a gloss coat to seal in the green and then the rest of the decals - my guess is it looks like the camo was overpainted with the sand/green scheme after the aircraft was transferred from another unit then the unit specific markings were added after . Maybe this would explain why the balkenkreuz were painted round and oversprayed a little but the number and squadron emblem look like they were done after the green .
