I spoke to soon. Unlike Kevin my next attempt at thinning using the Humbrol acrylics ended in failure and meant an hour or so of cleaning the airbrush at a later date!!!!! So it was back to the hairy stick. Firstly RLM 73 was applied and once dry this was masked ready for the RLM 72 which is the darker of the two greens. Has anyone else noticed that at times side and plan profiles for the painting guides don't match up? This caused a bit of frustration in the area of the middle engine. Once dry the masking was removed and because I'd used the hairy stick there were some ridges to be removed using one of Tracy's old nail buffers. Some touching up of the paintwork is needed in places before I can varnish ready for decalling.

Hi Chris,
Got to admit that you've had a battle with this one. Not sure what went wrong with the spraying, but it looks okay with the 'hairy stick'
Modelling isn't a clear cut science, sometimes you have to adapt your approach which you have done in style.
Watching the final run to completion.
Cheers,
Kevin
