Thank you for following and commenting :bow: .

After placing the mask in stripes I painted the yellow onthe leading edge of the wings.

I put the mask on the leading edge and all ready to start painting Camouflage.

I usually measure the width in total and divide it by the number of black and white stripes, for example 5 stripes 6 millimetres wide of both colours.

Apply a base coat of a white colour where the invasion stripes will be located. This will get you the white stripes.

Cut 5 stripes 6 millimetres wide and apply them side by side on the wing, starting where the first white invasion stripe should be. Having placed the Tamiya stripes side by side remove each second one. This will give you the mask to paint the black stripes. Apply the black colour of your choice.

By removing all remaining stripes you should get equally wide black and white stripes.

At least this is my way doing it. Others mileage may vary.

That's exactly what I did. Measure the width of the stripes (decals) in the case of the Typhoon were 10 m / m. After proceeded exactly as Thomas explained.

Completed camouflage.

Lights and shadows.

Now wait that everything dry in order to remove the mask.

For each color that I apply make two mixtures. One to apply the lights and the other for the shadows.

In this case, a P-47 ended just over two months ago, used the XF-53 Tamiya.

Image

Image

Then, the first mixture.
XF-53 (1) + XF-02 (0.5) and X-20 A (4)

Apply this mixture inside the panels.

Image

Image

The second mixture.
XF-53 (1) + a drop or two of XF-01 and X-20 A (4).

Apply this mixture on the lines of the panels.

Image

Image

Then apply the two mixtures again. On the wings in the direction of flight and fuselage vertically.

Image

Image

Hope this helps.
