Is the canopy freehand? - looks great!
George R Blair Jr said 3 years, 10 months ago:

The Beaufighter is an elegant-looking airplane. Looking forward to seeing it painted and with decals. Great Job.
Allan J Withers said 3 years, 10 months ago:

Thanks Spiros, getting there !

Thanks Erik, yes I usually do my canopies by hand with a pointy brush !

Thanks George, two engines followed closely by the air-frame !

That sky looks wonderful, Allan @kalamazoo!
I guess onto more masking now...
Erik Gjørup said 3 years, 10 months ago:

Still like your crisp and clean paintjobs - very nice.
Allan J Withers said 3 years, 10 months ago:

Thanks Spiros, yes cover the sky and start on the top !

Thanks Erik, I should try some weathering but I do like them clean !

Hi Allan @kalamazoo!
I can see the gret looks of the Humbrol 29!
Propellers look stellar, too!
Allan J Withers said 3 years, 10 months ago:

Thank you Spiros.
Allan J Withers said 3 years, 10 months ago:
Some masking and Humbrol 30 !
2 attached images. Click to enlarge.
1. blu-tack and magpie tape !!
1. a bit of card board under the clamp for protection !!
Spiros Pendedekas said 3 years, 10 months ago:

Nice progress, Allan @kalamazoo!
I have a very high respect for Humbrol 30: this paint has always performed flawlessly (among other Humbrols as well...), as is the excellent result here at your Beaufighter.
Looks great (and I can sense decal time arriving...?)
Allan J Withers said 3 years, 10 months ago:

Thanks Spiros, I don't mind Humbrol although I've had trouble with some of their coulors, decals soon !
George R Blair Jr said 3 years, 10 months ago:

Looking good, Allan. I have never had much luck with Humbrol, and they tend to be difficult to find here in central Texas.
Allan J Withers said 3 years, 10 months ago:

Thanks George, do you use Model Master enamels or are they becoming difficult to get ?
