Hi Ralph
Cracking result. That faded, patchwork paint job has worked a treat.

Cheers Chris:smiling3:.
I just followed the instructions so not sure if it is correct or not.
 
Very nice indeed Ralph. One little observation for future reference if i may?

The staining on the rear of the wing appears to be coming from those vents? If so. That is wrong. The staining should actually be inline with the bars in-between the vents as it is the exhaust gas staining. Only hot air from the radiators came out of the vents.

Other then that though, cracking.

No problem pointing out my error we can only live and learn.
I am surprised no one has noticed that I have not removed the masking from the canopy on the top centre of the aircraft:tears-of-joy:.
 
Great looking build Ralph. Superb paint job. Did you know you've left some masking on the canopy?
