Hi!
The fun (?) begins
Time to paint!
First I've covered the fuselage with the lighest color.
Then I've traced with a pencil the pattern and marked the various color of each section.
The lozenges on the aft part of the fuselage where hard edged while the others where soft-edged (I think that they used a stencil for the aft part), so I've masked the hard edged lozenges while the others will be airbrushed free hand.
(I've photoshopped the images to let you see better the pencil lines)
as you can see I've also tried to hand paint one of the sections, but I didn't like the result.
The masking on the central wing section and tailplane:
The result after the first color
I had some problems with the paint mixing (you can see some spitting in the freehand section) , but is the first color, so there's time to correct things.
Anyway I'm satisfied with this first step. Now I've to repeat for the other 3 colors (violet, blu and dark green) ... and then make the same thing with different colors for the under surfaces
Bye!
Andrew
