It will happen at some point soon though as I'm fancying it myself. Cheers, Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliGauld Posted November 20, 2022 Author Share Posted November 20, 2022 After some masking with the AK putty, Dark Green, Some Dark Green/Dark Slate Grey lightening and unmasking. This. There are some touch ups required and I need to get all of the Blu-Tac out of the wheel wells but I'm fairly happy with that. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 The engine was given a wee drybrush and a wash and then fitted. After all the touch ups were done this happened. That will be left to dry/cure in preparation for some roundels to be painted. Cheers, Alistair 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2996 Victor Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 The TLS over yellow is looking really great, and the addition of the engine and cowling really shows it coming together. Excellent! Cheers, Mark 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galgos Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 There are several different ways of using masks, might I point you here for one such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Quack Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Coming along nicely Alistair, you've managed to get the yellow beautifully even. Very impressed with your Cricut skills - can't wait to see how the painted markings look. Q 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 Right here we go. Thought I'd try the easier ones first. Masks on Followed by a splash of white Then some ColourCoats Roundel Red. And, finally some ColourCoats WW2 Roundel Blue/Oxford Blue. Then the masks came off. Now, in the interests of transparency. I was too quick between colours yesterday and some of the red lifted when taking the mask off and in trying to sort that the blue lifted. The red was allowed to dry overnight and then remasked for the blue which was sprayed this morning, giving the result above. Lesson learned. I am thinking this may take longer than I thought but it will be worth it. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Fantastic result, I'd say - in the words of one of the decal manufacturers (I forget which!) - "For that painted-on look"! I think you mentioned a Cricut? Which model is it (apols if I've missed that bit)? Cheers, Mark 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the basic model but will do pretty much everything I need for modelling. Edit: I've just had a look and Hobyycraft have £30 off for Black Friday.

AliGauld Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 On to the trickier roundels. Masked and a splash of white. Next up masking for the red. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Put the whole mask back carefully in place then remove the red centre. After that just put any old bit of tape over the red centre then just remove the blue. Done and dusted! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
