Top surface touch-ups done and the purple laid down on the tail. Next is the black for the tip of the tail and the nose, then I can flip it and do the wheel wells, repair the canard and do any underside touch-ups.

Fun hour and a bit at the bench tonight - 55 minutes of masking, 2 minutes of airbrush work and 10 minutes of clean up! 🤪

BUT the wings and canards now have their black edges.

I'll get started on the gear bays tomorrow and after they're done it's just the underside touch-ups and we're onto a gloss coat and decals.

As requested a couple of quick pics of the black detail on the leading edges, apologies for the quality of the pics.

I also got the gear bays masked off and have laid down a light grey on the bottom of the wing section. That will then be masked off and the walls sprayed in dark green. The fuselage section will be aluminium but they won't be seen as the inner doors are shut with the gear down.

Just about done on the touch-ups and other detail painting. Next step will be the gloss coat, so question for those who are regular MRP users - is it safe to use Tamiya X22 thinned with Mr Levelling as a gloss coat over MRP?
