Thank you all
Slight change of plan. Decided on a different scheme now so replaced the small header tank with teh larger one - adding the small coil pipe (some form of pressure relief valve??) using brass wire...
The underside of the wings will be finished in bleached linen and I wanted the ribbing and spars to 'show' through. So a little experimentation was undertaken.
Firstly I AB'd the wing with Tamiya XF-55. The rids etc were then taped and I oversprayed with White tinted with XF55. The tape was removed and further thin coats were added to reduce the 'harshness' of the intial XF55.
I was concerned that I was using too many coats of paint so tried a second option. I masked the ribbing etc befoe a light misting of the bleached linen colour. The tapes were then removed and I added further thin layes to blend in the ribs and spars.
As you can see from the photo, the two effects are essentially the same, but the top one (my 1st attempt) uses a lot more paint.I'm pretty happy with the overall effect considering it's my first attempt. Thoughts and comments are welcomed
