See the pressure vessel behind the cockpit hole?  That's from a Tamiya SdKfz 222, meaning this now has parts in 1/144, 1/80, 1/72, 1/48, 1/35 and 1/24.
Now, where's that box of 1/12 motorcycles...

It's now all white.

I need to design the paint scheme.  Probly a combination of the usual two zenrat industries blues with a white cheat line.

[zenrat]

I've masked the fuselage (have I mentioned I hate masking?) and painted the first layer of Mediterranean Blue.
With this and the Victomic i've been using Tamiya bendy masking tape.  I've previously rejected this as being crap but it does seem to work OK when put onto a gloss surface.  Stretching is an issue though.  It's easy to stretch it when pulling it taught to get it straight and then after you've cut it to length it will creep back and leave a gap at the end.

Bendy masking tape removed from the fuselage reminding me of why I disliked it - It left a decidedly shaggy edge.
I'll sort this out with thin strips of Hasegawa self adhesive mylar film.  Have I mentioned I dislike masking?
Wing demarkation I freehanded instead of masking.  Needs a second coat.

I like it!

That's starting to look really well. Loving It!

[zenrat]

Merci folks.

[zenrat]

I've tidied up the edges of the masking with strips of Hasegawa mirror finish self adhesive mylar.
Transfers next.

Good!
(and I appreciate the elegance of the camo resembling the Scottish cloth)

That looks like nothing I've ever seen before, and that's a compliment, not an insult.

Had to go back to the beginning of the thread to see what this started from, it looks so different

Terrific work

[zenrat]

Thanks folks.

Transfers in place.

That script is definitely not suited to neither my everyday glasses nor my reading ones

I could read that one, though.
