Thank you I'm very pleased with it so far gave the fuselage a coat of silver bit earlier so tomorrow I will do the black and white stripes and maybe the olive drab anti glare really enjoying this one


Another one I want to do is p51b called bald eagle

Just done the really thin blue line between the olive drab and the fuselage that tested my eye sight the kit supplies a decal for this but after a bit of research it's too thick and wrong shape the real plane it kinks up at the rear to match the rear canopy


Also masked and airbrushed white then masked and did black stripes on wings and fuselage I'm not useing the decals as I find it a pain in the proverbial to get them right something tells me it's cheating but I don't care lol


Can't wait to do the decals I think it's my favourite bit that's all folks for now comments are always welcome

That's most of the blue done just got wing tips to do but I'll have to fit nav lights first and mask so I'll leave that till tomorrow I want to let the paint garden before I touch it then it will be decal time don't think I need a gloss coat as all the paint so far is gloss all the best guys

the paintwork is still very clean work, very impressive

Nice work Roger.

Done most of the decals got the boring small ones to do this evening then I'll gloss coat all I have is tamiya x22 so I think I'll use that then I must gloss white the stars on the wings because the black paint shows through the decal I'm praying the decals don't lift any thoughts guys on an easy fix
