As I have lost the original decals I will be carrying on but I will be using it as a test bed for roundel masks so I have changed the green to the correct Colorado and have masked off for the underside grey.[ATTACH]326473[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326474[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326475[/ATTACH]

Peter,
That's an impressive looking build.

After a few days of masking and painting has now produced what you see below baring in mind it's only a test bed for the roundel masks.[ATTACH]326803[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326804[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326805[/ATTACH]

A little update I have had my first try a painted on roundels and I am pleased with the results.[ATTACH]326891[/ATTACH]

Peter,
The roundel looks perfect.

Looks good to me Peter,
The masking on planes always makes me apprehensive! Which Is probably why I’ve only built a handful:smiling5:

That certainly looks good to me. So how did you mask them?

Very nice paintjob Peter, the invasion stripes and roundel are much better looking than decals.:thumb2:

You should be pleased with those roundels Peter!

And here I was, thinking you’d explain the proper technique to cut nice circular circles from masking foil or old newspapers or something

I did try using a circle cutter but it didn't quite work.

Time for another quick update this time I am trying the letters first of all I had to spray a block of colour in the invasion stripes and apply the masks and spray 8n the correct colour and finally the reveal.[ATTACH]326991[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326992[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326993[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326994[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326995[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326996[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326997[/ATTACH][ATTACH]326999[/ATTACH]

That's it for the moment as I still have to find my missing decals.
And as for the painted on letter's and roundels I think they look good but will get a bit of getting used to.[ATTACH]327142[/ATTACH][ATTACH]327143[/ATTACH][ATTACH]327144[/ATTACH]
