Cheers, Alistair Thanks Alistair, I am concerned about the bigger ones though. On 26/03/2023 at 19:23, giemme said: Painting the stripes- way to go! Decals on the prop look good to me too, Simon Ciao Thanks good sir, no decals for the stripes included so... Thanks @elger, @cobraleader, @Dr. Quack and @Hamden. Well after a couple of days off back to the build. More masking, this time the anti-glare panel. I have still to mask the stripes though. Stay safe. Simon.

Spookytooth Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Sprayed some XF 62 Olive Drab. Time to chill before those stripes.... Stay safe. Simon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Masking with Tamiya Tape for Curves - again, way to go, Simon! Gives a nice sharp edge! Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 Thanks @giemme, it does not stick as well as normal tape but giving it a try. Masking done for stripes and sprayed XF 1 Matt Black. Leave to dry before the reveal...I am nervous about that. Stay safe. Simon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spookytooth Posted March 29, 2023 Author Share Posted March 29, 2023 OK, time to take the tape off and see what a mess I have made of things. From above, does not look that bad. Port side too. Nor starboard. Tail end, could be better. Need to adjust the starboard anti glare a bit, to straight. Port wing needs a little bit doing to it. Starboard not bad. This looks ugly. A touch up her I can see. And here too. And here. And here too. Well I am happy in some respects annoyed with myself on others. I am going to leave alone for today and see what I can do over the next few days. Stay safe. Simon. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Nothing desperate there Simon, looks good. Onwards and upwards. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Regular fixes, Simon - with all that masking, it has to be expected somewhat. 4 hours ago, Spookytooth said: it does not stick as well as normal tape but giving it a try. The secret is to stretch it a bit before applying, and then burnish it down properly. HTH Ciao 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamden Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Looking good to me, I would have made a right pigs ear of spraying this one. There's nothing there that you can't correct, keep up the good work Stay safe Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
