Hello all. Have not posted in a while, real life got in the way and then got into a funk. Kit is almost done, will post some pics Tuesday.
Looking forward to them Bruce.
Me too, and glad to hear you're back in the (almost) sane world .....
Ne iligitimi carborundum,
Don't let the b@stards wear you down.
Looking forward to seeing this one.

With all, welcome back to Our world.
You're results are great. Lookin forward to seeing the finished plane.
Planes are so simple....... damned helicopter builds!
Bring it on, man!
I suppose the funk could have been caused by the realization that I was not building a Wildcat. The real life portion was the new job. Anyway, as you can see, the masking did not go well.
I could blame Humbrol for making to good a paint, but reality is that I forgot to put on a glosscote before the masking fluid. When I tried to take it up, it didn't let go and it had bled. Live and learn. Touching up with a brush and moving on.
It's not looking to bad from what I can see Bruce. As you say a spray of gloss clear or Future between coats would have helped but on large areas like that I would have stayed away from the masking fluid and used a combination of Tamiya masking tape, Blu tak and paper. More fiddly I know but usually gives a secure masking.

Yep... I echo the post above.
Not too bad at all Bruce....could have been much worse...
Looks pretty good to me. I don't normally mask this type of pattern, just mark the shapes out in pencil, then free-hand along the lines. Not at all difficult, and saves a lot of b*gg*ring about.
Looks pretty good to me. When I do the camo on the floatplane I have made up my mind to cut masks from the plans and use them for hiding the light colour (ops..)

Real airplanes have round engines and two wings !
Looks good Bruce.
I've used masking liquid only once. It was a complete b@lls-up disaster.
Yours looks great on the whole, with a little touch up, you'll be fine.
