Eddy MarshallI built this years ago when i was 15... Model Master Enamels and stumbled across highlighting the centre of panels with a lighter shade - Fade olive drab was the colour used... Was by far one of my greatest earlier successes... I have no idea where it went tho... Gone to the great Modelling Gods in the sky...! Doh..!

Apart kiding, Great work on this model. Very well done allround
8. July, 21:04
Kevin StruemphThanks, pal. One nice thing about spraying acrylics is that it (usually) comes off pretty quickly. Enamels not so much.
8. July, 21:46
Nathan DempseyGreat choice for markings
I agree with Rui. Well done all around.
8. July, 23:09
Rui S@Kevin. Yah you are right, but i also endup painting my finger tips with all kind of Humbrol enamels
Its part of the hobby for me. No gloves I hate and can't work with them...

Andrea MorrisAll-over coat of Humbrol #11 "High-speed" silver is applied and all masking removed save for the matt black areas.
17. May, 12:22
Andrea MorrisNow the markings have been painted using Montex masks. I'm still getting used to using these plus uneven surfaces, so some careful touch-up is needed.

Daniel Klinkfollowing! ah and i see the good old A-470 still in use by someone..
8. May, 17:50
PierreHeh yeah, it is much hated for understandable reasons but it works! Well, most of the time anyway.
I just wish it were possible to buy spare parts. Also, what people say about quality declining is true, it's probably not a good buy right now.
8. May, 17:56
Daniel KlinkSure also got one of the last A4709 chrome... but you are right..the inner parts are quite vulnerable and the overall quality is not like in earlier days.
But the 4709 set in the wooden Box was a good offer 10 years ago
8. May, 17:58
PierreYeah, I luckily scored mine off ebay a couple years ago. As a matter of fact I broke it right after the beginning of lockdown, and Testors was nice enough to hook me up with a newer one and the quality difference is crazy.
The new one was probably a serviced one which didn't work because a different part was damaged, so in the end I had to rebuild it using parts from both guns. Would have been much simpler with a spare parts service.
8. May, 18:16
AlexNice choice, I did the same plane (but Revell and SkyModels decals)!
8. May, 18:28
PierreAlex, no pictures?
That decal sheet sounds like something I might want to get, so many choices!
9. May, 12:09
AlexNot yet, it's on my bucket list for next week... Decal sheet is excellent, but be aware, only stencils and roundels for 1-2 aircraft, regarding of your choice.
