Have you tried going to the Pontos site looking for the update set for your build - then downloading it? I tried that with my Warspite and got two Big Large Adobe Reader Files that I can keep zooming in to massive levels to show where stuff goes and what it is numbered to coinside with the PE Frets. Give it a Try OC. -
Thank You so much, the lesson I learned was just to work in a small area, work under a strong magnification and keep the psint quite thin - like skimmed milk, dry it between coats using a hairdryer, and after three or four coats the acrylic paints tend to smooth out nicely. OC.

Just been doing a bit more tidying up of the starboard paintwork, and while at it I have also touched up a few other areas including the spernwater and edge of the hull side/deck edge. Here are a few photos that give an idea of the progress. OC.

Thanks mate, its actually more enjoyable now, as I am working in small areas at a time, and feel that much more in control, a couple more days and the hull painting will be finished. Next will be a bit of minuture drilling out of the pump outlet pipes. OC.

I thought it was appropriate to say a Big Thank You to all those who constantly keep pressing the like on my build - It means A lot folks OC.

A written update folks minus any pictures at the moment, as all I am doing is the same on the Starboard side as I did on the Port, Its careful work as I am not using any tape for masking, and just hand painting the camo to where it meets the angled Torpedo Bulge, Its slow going but tidy. OC.

Just do like i do - spend the next 1-2 years building it - guarantee you learn a lot about your skills that way OC.

WOW That bottom hull looks so shinny like new. OC.

Massive MP cameras that can crop - in - in - in on a picture are not that great for our boat building, its bad enough scrutinizing our work under a magnifier, but to then zoom in even more is not good I dont think, its best photographing them at the same scale we view them in normal life. OC.

Been thinking the same about an airbrush, but our room dictates i hav eto build on the living room table, so I have to be as tidy and smell free as poss, hence why when i used a rattle can I had to do it outside-doors closed then put it away to dry for a bit till the smell went off. OC.

The plan for tomorrow - Finnish off touching up the Ap507B mid grey colour around the stern and the bow, that will finnish off the camo on the Port side. After letting this settle for a bit it will be the turn of the Starboard side - repeating what I have done but minus the repair work to the damaged section. OC.

This makes A lot of sense and I think is the Cause, I had my magnifier (6 inch round one) on the stand and there was strong sunlight coming through over my shoulder, I will learn a lesson from it. OC.
-
Thank you for that, I am quite pleased with it, using the magnifier I can paint cleaner with my fine brush. OC.
