Yep, and if I impatienly and prematurely coat it with Future, it self seals and takes ages to cure…
So patience it is, my friend @airbum!

Aaahhhh – looking at paint drying. . . patience my friend, patience 🙂

Thanks my friend @airbum!
Adding some extras may help this questionbly reputated kit strengthen its posture!
So, here she is masked, at the paint shop:

And here she is with brown applied (and […]

Nice implementation of modern technology, George @gblair!
This looks like a wonder machine that can be useful in modelliing.
I love the looks of your Mosquito.
Looking forward to some decals?

I go with Mr Admin @airbum, Allan @kalamazoo: good progress!

@gblair – You’re right you wouldn’t want that hard edge on a model of a “real” Mosquito. The way to get a “soft-yet-distinct” edge using your mask machine is to run thread about 1/16 inch in from the edge of […]

Thanks George @gblair!

a bit of paint on a few things !!

I agree, Allan (@kalamazoo), that is a neat trick for the landing lights.

Moving along nicely, Allan (@kalamazoo). Looking forward to seeing what paint scheme you plan to use.

Nice fillets, Spiros (@fiveten). I also really like how a coat of paint brings everything together. Looking forward to the rest of the paint.

It is finally painting day. I also wanted to try making some masks using my wife’s San and Cut machine. I planned to use the machine to cut the masks for the camouflage as a trial to see how it would work for […]

Thanks Greg @gkittinger!
Headed to the paintshop for the underside blue. Here are the results:

Blue is a bit denser in reality, I think the camera sensor was confused from the underlying pic color….
Cheers, DH100GB!

Nice little touch!
