    Welcome to the group, Allan (@kalamazoo). I don't do many 1/72 kits, but I built this kit for the group and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the paint and decals. Will this be from the Greek Display Team that flew F-86s? I think they were called The Hellenic Flame.

    Your masking and paint looks really nice, Allan (@kalamazoo). Did you create a pattern for the curves in the white color, or did you free-hand it?

    Thanks, Spiros, Carl (@clipper), John and George (@gblair), drawn freehand onto masking tape both sides of alloy foil, shape adjusted after test fitting.

    Really interesting idea to using aluminum foil for creating the masking, Allan (@kalamazoo). I need to put that in my bag of tricks for the next tricky camo that I do.
