Allan, on a previous build you were using a template and an airbrush, are you doing that with this kit as well?

Glacial progress, life keeps getting in the way.

Believe it or not, I did redo the middle wing. I made the same mistake the second time and over did the streaking, oh well. It would be fun to see how little streaking can be done and still have it "read" correctly. This is my third tripe in a row so that little experiment is not happening anytime soon.

Final streaking version.



And decaled this morning. I went with white on the lower wing for the crosses as many photos show this area to be pretty light as opposed to natural linen.



I will let this dry up and then start the weathering/grunging steps.

To Warren's question, yes still finalizing my airbrush/template process. See my previous post on MvR and LvR.
I really like the Vallejo paints, I have completely converted over. For the clear coats I use Future for full gloss and Vallejo matt for dead flat and a 50/50 mixture of both for a satin finish.
Thanks,
Allan Buttrick

Great results. Very effective. Do you brush on Future or spray - and if so PSI?
