Half the bottle gone.

That little zero is coming on nicely.
Looks like someone didn't tighten the lid on their liquid masking...

 

[Allen Dewire]

Ok Ian, I'm back on track now...Shame about the masking fluid, but at least you have some left to use. My cap was cracked and the whole bottle was solid...Nice surface on the Zero, although it's too hot for the optivisor, to see real good. Top stuff!!!

Prost
Allen

Ian,
Looking good.

 

[Geoffers]

Whizzing along Ian, that’s a nice metal coat to work some chipping magic on :thumb2:

Geoff.

 

[The Smythe Meister]

I've been wondering about trying some of that liquid mask stuff myself for a while now,rather than paying out for specific masking sets every build :thinking:
Looking good under the shiney paint there Ian:thumb2:

 

[papa 695]

I’ve moved on a bit with this over the weekend.

[The Smythe Meister]

Moved on "Quite a bit" I'd say Ian...
... looking good :thumb2:

 

[papa 695]

This one has now had all the decals put on.

 

[Mini Me]

Just caught up to this Ian......that is one "hammered" Zero. Really looks as it's been through the war...keep at it Sir! :thumb2:

 

[flyjoe180]

Coming along very nicely Ian. Looks very war worn

 

[stillp]

Looking very good Ian. I must get on with mine. Do you know what the extra hole in the rear of the canopy is for?

Thanks Pete. I know one is for an aerial, not sure about the other.
