🙂 that's why I'm following yours Roland! I have tried the Vallejo IJN medium grey as a main colour. Not certain yet if it's worked....

Looks good Guy. Particularly impressed with that cockpit glass: those curved corners have come out really well. How did you mask it off for painting?

Thanks Mark, the cockpit was masked with a cockpit mask from PK, I sprayed it separately to the main fuselage and put it on at the end of the build. 🙂

It really does look good Guy. Cockpit glass is proving one of my main challenges so far so I'll definitely bear your product and method in mind. For such a small part...!

Thanks Mark, one of the tricks I learnt from this site is to dip the cockpit in Klear which seems to remove small scratches and blemishes before masking and painting. 🙂
