    @lis, i am a fan of your work! 🙂
    Question: Did you use blue tack for the camo or did you do it freehand?

    @fxrob I only mask undersurfaces on fuselage (especially vases under nose glazing). Rest of painting was free hand airbrush.

    Few small bits. Main bomb bay doors and gun barbet (I really don’t know how could be aimed and shoot from this strange machine gun under fuselage).

    The camo came out really well, Bernard (@lis). I also like to freehand my camo, but yours looks much better than mine ever does. Well done.

    I have a little accident with decal. I try to push decal to panel line in one place and Decal loose blue color in one place in panel line. I use roundel blue Hataka acrylicpaint and correct it by very fine brush. I hope accident are not visible after correction.
