good god man you must have the patience of a saint!!

I seem to always give up on masking and fall back on the "paint and rub off" technique

 

[dubster72]

I'm with Colin, I can't imagine the patience needed here! I've a He-219 canopy to mask that I've been putting off for ages!

Good stuff Ian.

Cheers

Patrick

It's going together really well "Saint" Ian.

Looking well Ian.......Shame, but nearly time to trash it mate!!

Ron

 

[CDW]

it does look good enough not to trash mate. ah well.... sacrifices an all

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Going to be sorry to see this crashed but, it has to be done. Keep up the great work Ian.

Have fun, John

 

[dubster72]

You're right Ian, it has to be built properly to wreck it properly!

 

[Ian M]

Looking great Ian. If you plan it well and are careful about it you could rebuild it afterwards. It just depends on if its just a belly flop or its gone sideways and broken up.

[papa 695]

Thanks Ian but with what iv'e got in mind i don't think it will go back together

 

[papa 695]
