@lis, thanks, Lis. The used color is Vallejo 71.057, black RLM22. The tube outlet was used to drop flares. On the interior pictures of the thread you can see the tubes used for that.
@gblair, thank you, George. The even black color does give some nice accents. But also reveals some irragularities which I will correct later on.
@fiveten, thanks you, Spiros.
@lis, this picture show a crew member using the flare tube from the inside of the Wellington.
Very nice photo!
Started the masking for the top surface colors. Created some thin strips of masking tape to be able to create the curve at the tail section.
Nice masking, my friend @johnb!
@johnb - What tape are you using? You should get Drafting Tape, a low-tack tape available at artist supply and office supply stores. It never pulls anything up.
Coming along nicely @johnb.
@fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros
@tcinla, this is a brandless tape from a local store. It is pretty low-tack. There are some moments when a piece of paint comes of but that happens rarely with this tape. Thanks for the advice, I will definitely have a look for tape with even less force.
@eb801, thank you, Eric.
Tamiya have elastic white tape for curves.
@lis, sounds very useful, Lis. In two weeks I will visit a modelling exhibition and see if they have it.
Final preperations were done prior to applying the first of the top surface colors.
