Hello everyone ,

It`s been a year since I posted anything . Other hobbies took over .Most of it are my 4 reef tanks which is a 24/7 job!

I finally started back on this project .It will be slow going so bare with me ! I hope you like what I have done so far .

I gave the model a coat of white and then a yellow base coat of primer.





I started to mask and add the 5 colors



I color matched the colors to the decals which was sent to me by Aviattic. I did a test of the decals on the elevator before I did the color match . I have to say the decals go on well with no problems and look great! I defiantly will be using his decals from now on !

Willi,
Great to see you back! Your masked and Sprayed lozenge is looking great! I look forward to seeing your continued artistry on this one! You are certainly right about the Aviattic decals. They are top Drawer and worth every Penny!

How was the cutting of those masks done? Did you use some kind of plotter (means: a computerized solution), or did you mark and cut yourself (no, not cut yourself, maybe you know what I mean, possibly "cut on your own?" Sounds awkward as well...)

Anyway - how did you do that?

Hello everyone,

 Thank you for the kind words . The painting of the lozenges are addicting!. I am on day three and still a lot to do ! there`s over 100+masks ! I am doing 10-15 a day with 4 different colors with  (yellow base color) . checking and touch up as I go , I hope to have it done by the end of the week .

  @stefanbuss,

   I was lucky to get everything I need from a member here miecio52 which deserves a very big THANK YOU ! I think he knows or had contact to wojtek fajga  who did the mask and I am following parts of his build which he did in 2009. It`s his masks I am using. The Germans painted the lozenge  on the Aircraft during WW1 . The Polish added the eye motiv and their markings .

Well here`s some more photo`s of the lozenges . It`s taking a little longer because of the storm that didn't happen( Ericka ).  Did manage to do some more over the weekend . I did spray the cross on both sides . The masks I had were wrong  they were backwards so I had to measure and tape each one . Still have some more to go near the tail . Hope you enjoy the photo`s .

Very nice paintjob, that is. It will be interesting to see how this all will change in appearance during the weathering process.
