Dear friends,
here is some progress on painting the crosses on the wings:
First I sticked some masking tape that will fit the four ellipses that are needed to spray the crosses. The radius is easy to find: The cross decals on wingnuts sheet are arranged in a fousquare pattern. Between the four decals are the numbers of the decals, positioned in a circle. the middle of the circle is the centerpoint for the circle that will touch both, the left and the righthand decal.
The tape around the ellipses marks the outer fousquare border of the white base for the crosses.



The ellipses are cutted out by using an olfa cutter.

The ellopses are secured by using some tape. The outer line for the white base is masked.

Tamiya XF-2 is sprayed, sanded down and sealed with future.

After two hours of drying Post it Notes are used for masking and got some helping lines.

The cross was painted by using XF-69 Nato Black first. XF-1 follows in irregular patterns and satuaration. The mask was peeled off.


And the result after - you guess it... sanding and some future as varnish:


Hope you like it,
with greetings from Geramny,
Dirk
