I hope that wasnt my comment about the panel lines , its a kit issue and in no way a reflection on your excellent buildSorry folks, but a previous and quite unnecessary comment has ****ed up any fun and enthusiasm I had for constructing this kit.........

Just out of interest Ron. Those little Airfix tubs! Do you mix them them with any thinner/water. Or paint straight from the tub?
When I did my Sea King I just binned the tubs as they almost looked solid!
Thanks chaps.
Andrew. Yes it is. I obviously marry up the bits before I do any brushwork. To be fair there wasn't much fiing and scraping to do!
Doug. I seen so many tales of 'Anguish and frustration' when folks get perhaps too involved with techniques, that many moons ago I chose to go the easy, none complicated route. After all, I'm only trying to have fun!
453. Good job you chose to sit down again 'cos no refunds for ex. building workers. Especially wood butchers!
Thanks also to Garry and Ian for their encouraging posts.
Update.
I decided the model needed another coat of brown. Then I finished off the rest of the bits and added and painted same.
I'm too impatient, clumsy and tight to use cockpit/turret masks, so I freehand painted these with a very fine brush.

Just what I was going to say!Excellent, Ron. Your freehand cockpit framing is better than I can do with masks.
