Quote from: PR19_Kit on October 21, 2023, 02:24:37 PMSome one does a masking set for the SwAF 'Fields and Meadows' schemes, but I don't know if it's available for 1/48 as well.
Wouldn't surprise me Kit if there's not but that would make life much easier.
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

When I painted this...

nattfjäril 8 by Fred Maillardet, on Flickr

...I primed it, drew the pattern in pencil, labelled each block, and then brush painted the splinters - like a paint by numbers, no masking needed.  Took some concentration but it'd be easier in 1/48 as its bigger.

What I do is just free hand the design..basically what looks simple but effective and similarish.
So far all seems to be going well..I hope .

Camo Black; Camo Green; Camo Brown; Pilbara Brown



If you aren't using a specific AusCam set then a slightly reddish Dark Earth should do for the Pilbara.

I used them on this.  No masking, sprayed freehand.

I'm gonna use Tamiya XF-52 flat earth  as the 4th colour.
The good thing is not much of it is used compared to the other 3.
Should look OK..your guys eyes will see it better than me  :thumbsup:

Special Hobby produce a set of 1/72 masks and, a company called D N Models produces a 1/48 set

That's how it SHOULD look! :thumbsup: .
As a principle, I don't do boring, grey jets. I always look on a boring, grey finish as a challenge to overcome.  I might use larger ,individual coloured areas to ease masking a bit or, maybe solid coloured decal sheet.  However, as I'm going to build three Viggens in three separate roles with schemes to match, I might just end up using the Special Hobby 1/72 masks. Nice to see you've installed the inboard wing pylons aft of the wheels. These were very rarely seen .
