Paul, Pleased you like it.
Jim R, Ditto above.
Geof, Many thanks, and only dropped it on the floor once!!!!
OK, so off we go with the priming...
... All done with 'Hycote' car primer - if it is Grey, then it gets painted today....
Time for the undercoat...
... The raggy ended brush is used to clean out the
airbrush bowl of unused paint, then used again with whatever thinners, again washed around and poured out and then a bowl of clean thinners sprayed through....
... And finally the painted items, the prop blades have been painted NATO Black to take them away from the black of the spinner, the undercarriage legs, drop tanks and just out of the picture the flaps, are in AK Matte Aluminium. The fuselage, cocpit canopy, are in AK Polished Aluminium and the wings, undercarriage doors are in AK Aluminium.... It may just be me but at the moment I cannot tell the difference between the shades. Still got the anti-glare Olive Drab to paint ahead of the cockpit and then some varnishing to do before the
decals....
Cheers
Mike.
