Black on and all masking done ready for the white. Masking around the base of the refuelling probe was a complete pain but I've got it about as accurate as I can manage. Going to make sure and burnish all the edges down again before I spray the white as leakage might well be an issue with all the curves involved.

Looks like a piece of modern art Gus, right with the others, great job with all the masking and thanks for reducing the world Kabuki resources, the stuff will be expensive soon.

Cheers Rob

Well, upper surface masking is off ....

A few touch-ups needed where the masking hasn't been perfect and a couple of slight asymmetries between the sides but I'm pretty happy with how it's come out so far. I'll do the repairs over the next couple of days and hopefully get started on the underside at the weekend.

Thanks fellas.

Yes, 'gaudy' might be the word for it Rob, but it certainly stands out.

Glad you like it Hubert as your aversion to camouflage was part of the inspiration for trying this.

Just a quick update, will post better pictures later.

Bottom colours on. A few touch ups required but definite progress. Think I'm going to gloss coat all this before I do the canards and nose just to try and mitigate against cock ups.
