After masking off the tail and nose the silver was sprayed on - vallejo metal color. While handling one of the tails broke so this had to be repaired after the masking came off . Next a clear coat ,then decals .[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1199925[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1199926[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1199927[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]n1199928[/ATTACH]

I bet there was swearing when the tail came off with the tape!

I actually broke it while it was masked up Ian , while masking the nose I dropped it and whats the first thing you do when dropping something while sitting down? You close your legs quick to catch it , and crunch , it got caught between my legs . Never mind it went back on easily enough but ,yes , in answer to the initial question , there was a LOT of swearing !:surprised::smiling5:

Not good for the heart Tony doing that is it !
I threw all my Vallejo primers in the bin, had the same thing happen to me .Nothing more off putting when a simple thing like a primer just doesn't work .
Gone over the AK 3 rd Gen thankfully they work .

That's looking very smart. The colouring adds to the unusual appearance of this plane. Glad the tail fixed back ok.

I think this is a reflex that modellers hone better than most people
