Looks great mate, sounds like we have been spending the week in much the same fashion, my Typhoon is at paint stage too. Halfords primer? Halfords? You were lucky, I plumped for Poundland's best white primer, which seemed to go on quite nicely - until I started to take the masking tape off and took the paint with it... :banghead:

Looking forward to seeing it finished. :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Nice!

Handy tip when masking something like this.  Before spraying the second colour, spray a light coat of the original colour or a clear varnish.  This will seal the mask and if anything does leak under, it's the original colour or clear.  Works for me!

Dunc, that is absolutely superb :wub:  One of the, if not the best things you've done, and sure to be the centrepiece of the SIG display at Telford.

Its one of those whiffs that just looks right, and I bet more than a fair few could be fooled into believing it was real

Looks the part Dunc & suprisingly Western, I guess I'm comparing it to the E-3.  Great job! :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
