That's right, Lindsey.

Natural metal finish first, and then I used a cocktail stick to apply the masking fluid. After the top coat, just gently rub the masking fluid off with your finger.

The only problem I encountered was that I pre-shaded my panel lines too thick. This mean some black also showed through with the silver beneath my green - the touching up brush came out at this point.

Alex do'nt feel alone with the panel lines showing thru ,did the same on my Zero thank goodness for touch up brushes!

Okay, I'm on the home run with this build now. I just have a few small details such as undercarriage, cannons and radio mast left to do.

The flaps are just loosely placed on the model for the sake of weathering. Notice the headrest - this was actually made from wood in the real thing. If I did another of this type I'd try using some balsa instead.

Next photos should be the finished build :)

Thanks, Ian! My first 5 stars : )

Being able to share the process with like-minded people is very close to the enjoyment of the actual building.

It seemed everything was against this build being completed tonight - I knocked my glue over and spilled it all over the desk very near the plane. Then holding it under the light to brush on pastels, I dropped the George! It hit the desk and a few parts came flying off. Luckily nothing was broken and it glued back in place ready for photos : )
