Nice work - just like the one at the museum (I just had to Google it as I didn't know what Air Zoo is.) 🙂

Jean
Thanks ! Will post more details soon !

You might want to paint some lipstick on that mouth and adjust eyes if you are replicating Sue's plane.

A nice clean build.

Jean
Thanks guys ! Yes I will give it a go, but I a bit scared of messing it up

gorby
No need to be scared about messing up Jean. If a model doesn't turn out how you want it to, use the experience to make the next model better. There aren't many members on here who feel they don't have anything else to learn about modelling.
As long as you are enjoying yourself that's all that matters.

Jean
Thanks for your kind support. I'm also considering to paint (I'm brush painting) the yellow outline on the fuselage and lower wing roundels, do you have any tips on how to proceed ? Home made masking ?

Neil
Great work Jean and I agree with gorby a 100% 🙂 build looks epic! 👍

Jean
Thanks Neil, I'm quite happy with it as it's only my second model 🙂

I'd advise you to be very careful using masking tape on decals, it could damage them. You might get away with it by varnishing the decals and then reduce the tackiness of the tape by sticking it on your skin a couple of times. I didn't even notice it didn't have the yellow rings, so personally I'd be tempted to forget about them.
In future if you need to do something like that I'd use a mask to paint the yellow circle first - but then you would also need to paint a white circle inside that so the yellow doesn't show though the decal. That would be a lot easier to do with an airbrush. Brush painting, the thickness of excessive coats of paint might cause a problem.

Jean
Yeah, might leave this out. Thanks for the tip ! I'm thinking about getting an airbrush, seems like a very useful tool

Don't use tape over the decals or you will lose them. It almost never works.
