I got completely wrapped up in the Tarpon but they're on the move now.

Who wouldn't - you are forgiven 😉

Out to the garage and there was some priming done, followed by preshading and some Flat Aluminium for chipping effects later.

Then I misted some Medium Sea Grey over the underside.

 

Mk.IXe

 

 

 

Mk.IXc

 

 

 

Once that dries a bit I'll do some lightening.

 

Thanks for looking,

 

Cheers,

Alistair

[AliGauld]

The Medium Sea Grey was lightened with a couple of drops of Royal Light Grey and sprayed.

 

 

 

I'll let that dry and have a look in daylight if it needs a thinned overspray I'll do that tonight if not masking next and some upper colours.

 

Thanks for looking,

 

Cheers,

Alistair

Looking good Alistair.  You might have inspired me to do a Spitfire next, I have an Eduard Mk.IX that I’ve got an idea for.

[Dunny]

Looking lovely Alistair - I do like your MSG,

Just caught up Alistair, fine work.

Those annoying seam marks can be a pain but you got there.

 

Stay safe.

Thanks Chris.

I'm hoping to get some Dark Green on at least one of them tonight.

 

Cheers,

Alistair

[AliGauld]

Dark Green applied to the MK.IXc. After that a drop or two of Flat Green was mixed in for lightening purposes.

 

 

 

There are one or two touch ups needed but after those I'll mask up for the Sky Band and then the Invasion Stripes.

I should get the Mk.IXe done tomorrow.

 

Thanks for looking.

 

Cheers,

Alistair

Thanks Roger,

That would make more sense as it would only need masked once.

I'll try that in the future.

Getting there Alistair, getting there mate.

All looks good from here.

 

Stay safe.

 

Simon.

[AliGauld]

Thanks Simon,

It's progressing and it'll get there.
