As you can see above the white band looks pretty good...

Masked and sprayed the markings

You cannot beat sprayed on markings....
there is a little touching up to do which I will get done over a couple of days then there are some decals to apply.

Hi Barry
White stripe looks good as do the markings. The extra work involved in painting markings rather than using decals is certainly worth while.

I have been applying some decals and will next be doing some detail painting.

The decals are a bit thick, hence my using the masks for the main markings, but hopefully I will find tonight that they have settled down under the heavy treatment of decal solution I applied last night.

I should be able to get on with some detail painting tonight prior to a sealing gloss varnish coat ready for pin washes.

 

[BarryW]

Detail painting done, sealing gloss coat applied, AKI panel line washes applied, first matt coat, then I did some pigment work and streak effects and then after a final matt coat, chipping with Usci metal powders and silver pencil and kerosene and oil leaks. Final fitting and done.

I will do a completed thread but just a couple of progress shots here.
