lmagna Posted March 15, 2020 #306 Posted March 15, 2020 It should do the job.

Old Collingwood Posted March 15, 2020 Author #314 Posted March 15, 2020 More progress today while listening to my Aircraft scanner at all the aircraft going over the pond to the US (not) been so quiet. Anyway on with mossie, where were we - oh yes masking ready to paint the Black on the right side fuselage, same procedure wide soft brush and gentle steady brush strokes, then dried with the dryer between coats, I put about four layers down then moved on to the next masked section, then when it was dry I removed the tape, it was leaving a small ridge (cant be helped even with burnishing the edge - till I get some Tamiya tape) so it was a case of a light wet sand - that tended to remove a little too much Black - so back on again. I took about three attempts till I was happy with the finish - then I buffed the whole paintwork to get a shiny surface ready for the decals. Next I decided to do the bottom of the first wing freehand with my wide brush (its about 3/4 Inch) I started with the section closest to the fuselage - it needed no masks as I was controlling the flow of paint - four or five coats and it was looking quite good, next I masked the top part of the engine cowling and started to apply some Black all over the nacelle - again about Four or Five layers, and I left it there for the night. Here's the pics as stands at the mo. OC.
