      Looks good John. I found it really easy to use.
      Thanks Tim, I've since removed it and quite pleased with the result , even put the canopy on.

      What and stick even more to the carpet, do you like living dangerously Colin ?

        Thanks Jim, turned out very well , I remembered to spray at different angles, otherwise you can get a soft edge to some on the camo , photo tomorrow.

            I'll wait until the wife is out of the house, just in case.

              Morning from a wet Linc's.
              Photo of the we camo, and the cockpit canopy. Tried to mask it, gave up as the curves caused too much eye ache.In the end I hand painted the frame .

                I understand giving up masking a canopy - it can be a right pain. I masked a 1:72 B-36 once, that's not an experience I will ever repeat.

                  I think he got that “BUG” when he put your coat on last winter.

                          Rest assured Lee, definitely not changing to either wingy or worse still floaty boat things !

                          Might not have it after I attempt to paint the markings !

                            Looks like a mossy John, what more do you want . Seriously, looking good is that.
