Is it painted yet.....huh huh is it?

I am trying out Eddie's fantastic idea of masking using foil...I folded up a sheet until it was about an inch wide, then punched in holes at random...spread out the sheet over the plane:



Then started doing light spray coats from about two feet away:

You've had better results than I've had so far. It looks get! I like the fade of the spots. B)

[cthulhu77]

Thanks!  It is one of those experiments that is so-far, so-good !

   Working on the panels...I want this one to be a bit worn....

[Brian da Basher]

Wow looking even better! Your paintwork is some of the best around, Greg! Is that jar of Kosher Dills I see in the background your secret weapon?  

Brian da Basher

[cthulhu77]

OH no!  You have found out my super secret!

    Thanks, it is fun to do the panel lines by hand again...haven't done that in a while, and I was getting rusty.

[cthulhu77]

and, add on some pastels!

[cthulhu77]

don't forget the rusty red bottom !

[Brian da Basher]

Greg that is one of the coolest paint schemes to come down the pike in a while! The more I see of it, the more amazed I am! Is it just me or do those wings have a slight Me-109 look to them?

[cthulhu77]

LOL...a friend of mine asked about the whacky ME I was building...

  The pilot (being a sheila) must have ta-ta's!

[cthulhu77]

Thank the heaven's for photo reference:
