finished with the resume these works was done between august 2013 and few months ago. Next time the works i did last night.
At the next!

Excellent job. I am enjoying this build. 2 questions however.

1. How do you do your glass? Your demarcations always seem flawless but ive never seen you use masking.
2. I seem to remember a discussion some time ago on a different forum about fire extinguishers not being red on aircraft during ww2. I know the germans used green, but i dont know about the allies. Are you sure on the colour?

Tank you Mike
You never see me masking canopy because I rarely do it. I prefer to use a fine brush to paint frames, all the needed layers. Before the first glossy layer before decals I remove excess paint with a toothpick. Smooth surface of glass surface help the removing operation.
Just on the hound helicopter I used the masking liquid from microscale to protect the clear parts from final satin coat.

About extinguers we discussed with, probably, Bish and other modelers on fsm forum about the color. My first idea was about a emerald green but after some research with others the classic red seems the more correct colour.

So many pics that it is hard to pick what is my favorite part! Great work all around.

ugh I hate you, I really do.
