Thanks Tom, I stayed up to silly o'clock getting her ready for paint. I know what you mean about the weather. Are you going to use a mica top coat?

Are you going to use a mica top coat? No... I went ot Halfords yesterday with some pictures of the Virgin scheme and have found a Citroen grey/silver which looks pretty close to the colour needed. I'm going to do a test spray and see how it looks. If not then it'll have to be plan B which is the mica paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuprar Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 I've managed to get the fuselage all done today. Some tiny marks I have to sort and I now have to paint the check on the rear end because the decal is for a 300 tail and the 600 is a lot bigger so lots of masking it is and more White paint. Well here she is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV571 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hi Chris, To save your sanity you might want to try these instead: 1/4" checks http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MSCH141 or 1/8" checks http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/MSCH181 Top job on the fuselage shading!
