AliGauld Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 This is taking a lot longer than I imagined it would. The middle stripe over the fuselage need a little adjustment which I'll get round to once the starboard wing is done.

Chris Thanks Chris, It's a lot more complicated due to the nacelles than I thought it would be. I've spotted my deliberate error too. I'll need to overpaint the yellow on the port aileron. There shouldn't be black there. No biggie. Cheers, Alistair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Alistair Yes I remember the stripes on the Ventura, all good fun though and will definitely be very impressive in your display when done and you will be really chuffed too. We would not have noticed the deliberate mistake if you hadn't said😉 Does look great, I must get one of these ordered, I have some flying hours to spend.

Chris Thanks Chris, If it ends up looking a quarter as good as your Ventura I will be over the moon. 1 hour ago, bigbadbadge said: We would not have noticed the deliberate mistake if you hadn't said Yup did it again on the Starboard side see the following pictures. The last masking for the black has been done and the middle stripe tidied up a bit. I also masked up for the Aircraft Numbers that I'd forgotten about on the Port wing. Sprayed some white and then some yellow. This will be left until tomorrow and then I'll touch up the necessary bits and get the ailerons back to yellow. Then I can start the masking for the HSS.

mark.au Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 That looks really good Alistair! The stripes look great, your patience in masking has really paid off (notwithstanding the ailerons) and the overall effect is very striking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark, Mr. Genius here thought it would be simple job. Still, it's done now just need to do the HSS. That'll be another monster masking job.

AliGauld Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 This is the result after 5 hrs of masking(with suitable breaks, of course). I'm off to give this a spritz of Aqua Gloss in an attempt to seal the edges and give the HSS a gloss surface to go on to. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 After a few misty coats of HSS. The last coat may have been too heavy though. Turns out that Aqua Gloss isn't particularly good under lacquers. Oh well, on to plan B. Once that is dry I'll sand back the crackling and then put down some Flat aluminium and then HSS over the top of that. Stuff happens.
