That streaking looks difficult to do, Martin. How did you do it?

it is not very difficult. First I use white primer from Revell to paint the light sights and gray primer for the olive sides.
Then was the white primer overpainted with turquoise blue and the gray primer with olive.
I have an old cut brush to streak with olive paint over blue. The sides of the fuselage vertical and all top sides diagonal with very dry brush.

Hello Martin:

This is coming along really nice.  I like your approach to the streaking, always a difficult if not daunting undertaking and you achieved the desired affect. 
The engine and guns really look the business.  Looking forward to the next update.

Best

Very good work, Martin. The streaking is something I've never tried and I will
be referring back to your excellent efforts for guidance when the time comes.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thank you for your compliments Patrick and Ernie.
The plane is just drying because the undercarriage was glue to the fuselage.

Martin,
Nice streaking and work on the cross fields. Looks more like an F1 with every update!
