Your pre shading looks excellent Terri! I don't have much patience for all of the masking so I tend to put it off,   or not do it at all.  :-[

Your preshading looks fantastic, Terri!  Can't wait to see it with the camo over it.
Cheers,
Bud

I am like Rick Terri - I do not bother with the pre-shading, so my models all look as though they have just come out of the factory! Yours will look greta when the top coats are on.

It was a weekend of airbrushing and not much assembly taking place .

Since I'm doing this one in British markings I sprayed the lower surfaces of the wings with Tamiya deck tan and underside of the fuselage got a couple of thin coats as well as the landing strut assembly and the wheels . Also got the wood grain on the struts done and started the clear orange . Still have to spray the other side .

That painting is first class in every way. This is going to be a little stunner when it is finished.

Painting work out great.
In my model, some struts I had to do because they were too short.

Well done T! The preshading resulted in an excellent finish on the undersides! The struts are looking great!

Thanks guys for the very kind comments . They are very much appreciated  :)

More airbrushing will commence this weekend and should take care of this part of the build . There is a lot of fittings to paint on the struts . Not sure on whether to do this by hand or pull out the masking tape .

Thanks for the heads up Jacek on the length of the struts , I got contrail strut in the stash if need be .

We got paint and decals !

The bottom was masked off along with the cowl areas and the PC was applied . Once dried , battleship grey followed . Decals are from the spare box . Still have to seal the decals before anymore weathering can be done .
