As far as I can tell painting the stripes, etc first is about the easiest approach. Get that all done then the camo and then the decals. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SapperSix Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 John you are a machine. I have attempted to emulate your work in my own builds as you are a professional to be sure. The sun comes up, and John knocks another smooth build out of the park. Watching and learning as always. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Would any of you guys have either of these 1/32 Mask sheets? Montex 32005 Maketar 32090 I want to use it for the JE-J codes on this build. I'd like to get 'em ASAP as the model is about ready for them. This wasn't to be my original approach but after consideration I think it is the best way to go. Let me know $$$ and I'll send payment via PayPal. Thanks!!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 If you need just the codes, I have them. The EN315 would have to done after the camo though as some of the numbers are only partials. Let me know. Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Xtracolor paint Jeff. Their paints are gloss and lay down nicely. I highly recommend them but they are a bit difficult to get stateside. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
