AnonymousDFB1 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Okay Guys, Garfield an I are ready to let you in on progress. We've been trying out some new techniques, well new to us. Here's what we've been up to: First we did a bit of spraying And then the master plan Bare Metal Foil Applied panel by panel This is why we painted first, instead of trying to mask the foil to paint we left gaps where we wanted the black stripes to be. Foiling the undersides Foiling complete Decaling underway Nearly done We just have a few little bits to do now and she'll be done. In case you haven't worked it out We have tried to reproduce the modern warbird of Maj George E Preddy's Mustang 'Cripes A' Mighty. More tomorrow...
