Now ready for primer after doing a few modifications - changing the aerial fit and flotation mechanism and adding the search light under the nose.

After several coats of yellow.
Note to self: use white primer for yellow.

Looks good Chris.
Have you ever thought of using a light pink as an undercoat?
it apparently helps with the opacity of Yellow schemes.

That sounds like an interesting tip.

Some additional colour on now. A bit otouching up required due to a bit of leakage on the masking.

Coming along nicely. If you remeber Kev I tried the pink primer approach once and ended up with orange!!!! Must have used the wrong shade of pink?

I do, Chris.
I'm adding some yellow to my Jet Provost so I'll have a go at my suggestion, and hopefully mine will come out a nice shade of Yellow.
As to Chris's helicopter, Looking very nice.
