stevej60 Posted June 3, 2023 Author Share Posted June 3, 2023 Evening folk's,the primer went on beautifully a good base for the top colours. The only area which I wasn't happy with was the slight step on the wing to fuselage joint which I smoothed out with flexi filler as you can see.Now I need to mark out the white area's of the ID stripes for their painting once sprayed they will be covered up for the camoflage to be applied then I'll brush paint the black stripes.I'm using the supplied decals for sizing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy hunting at the model show tomorrow mate. 🇺🇦 What a day Craig,after taking in the built models it was time to shop I set a limit on spend but as you well know prices are through the roof now and when your looking at 1/32 scale you're touching three figures in some area's.I headed for the Modelsforsale stand and spied a Trumpeter 1/32 Skyraider for a tasty £45 nice I thought two minutes later turned and it was gone,you snooze you loose! So spied a Seminar 1/35 Iroquois at £18 and the money was in the sellers hand along with Revell Beaufighter still sealed for £30 that was me happy then Luke and Gregg were on the spend picking up some good bargains too I thought Greggs 1/48 Italeri Thunderstreak Red Devils was a steal at £14 Luke got a nice 1/32 109G6 which he's building for this GB,anyway I was done but I'd seen a Revell 1/32 Spitfire Mk9 for £15 earlier so I thought that'll round my day of nicely! 18 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 Hi folk's last few days progress,Luke bought a set of AK RAF colours for a future project so thought I'd give them a try.Once the upper/lower grays were sprayed I brushed on the RAF green over two coats not as nice as Tamiya to brush but they did fine.Next up more masking for the black stripes,sky fuselage band and leading edge yellow on the wings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
