The wings were painted, but I put the masks strip on the silver surfaces. Then I learned that this strip was painted blue.

So the nest step is painting blue strip.

I think this strip is a little too wide, but I'll leave it, because I would have to paint again whole wings.
I decided to raise the bar itself and decided to paint cockades, using masks
So I bought a pair of compasses and sheets Montex masks.
At the beginning of the test was painting.

When I was cutting the smallest wheels, I noticed that part of it is not cut to the end, I tried to fix my problem but to no avail.
Now red color.

The result is not as expected but I will use mask.
Firstly badly painted the center.
This error is correctable, I will have to cut out the circle carefully .
Now I cut down mask and it was glued on the wing.
Tonight I will start painting.
