    White is not the easiest color, Bernard @lis
    It also does reveal imprefections easily, but I don't see any on yours.
    All looks perfect to me.

    Unfortunetly I waste time for modeling on sunday because of football match and another not importand things as bike trip. But Today I masked all wellington. It takes me few hours. White is very difficult paint to have good effect.

    I decided to repaint on white fuselage over waist Windows because white curved line was higher than I thought.

    Happens to me often that I have to repaint for similar reasons, my friend @lis!

    To me your Sunday does not sound like wasted time, Bernard @lis
    Stepping away from the bench for a moment can be inspiring as well.
    Great work on the masking and repaint.

    Thank You my friends! This build (I think) is slow as snail.

    It is not about the speed, Bernard @lis
    Enjoying your build is the most important that counts.

    This is neverending story with corrections of white paint. I repaint in one płace and another looks bad. I'm a little tired and upset. Do You notice various shades of white in some places? What do You You think about it? Also I repainted pre-shadeing on upper surfaces.

    Your white looks perfect from here, my friend @lis!
    In any case, if the paint looks uneven to your eye, this is not a bad thing as, in reality, the paint is uneven.

    Dear Lis @lis, your Wellington looks great. Although pictures usually do not show things as well as looking at it through my own eyes i can clearly see different shades of white. I have the same issue actually with my Airfix Mosquito currently. Now on to that coastal command scheme - i am looking forward to seeing how you do that!
