Same as Terri agreed with what Rick said!

Welcome to the roundel painting party!

I think you're a bit too harsh on the Academy Camel. I gave one some love. Upside down machine guns and all!

Really looking forward to seeing this through. One day I'll build Rickenbacker's SPAD.

I like your paintwork, Richard!

Paint adhesion problems!

The underside isn't quite so bad:

I shall let the paint harden off, then have a go at patching it up

Like Terri Said...Ouch! I am sure you will recover the finish you desire...or use it as a weathering process!

Oh no, how utterly annoying! Peeling off masks is such a tense process. I'm willing to bet on you recovering this though.

Best of luck

I sprayed the primer, then each of the other colours one at a time. So in theory, they are all roughly the same thickness

This means there should be a raised bit along the edge of the white to paint up to. So, I'm hoping to repair the damage by hand with a brush

I don't know if this is helpful but brush touch up is what I would do

Put it this way - I'll be damned if I mask the whole thing up again!!

A little delicate brush work and we have:

It's a little bit lumpy, otherwise it has gone pretty well. I may try and flat it back at some point

Well done Richard, knew you would prevail!
