Still working on the masking. About 80% will be covered with masking tape. It is a boring chore but better then getting overspray.

I finally finished the masking!





I hate masking...

Well, at least you have that chore behind you now.

And more paint is on. Blue over white is easy. It is Tamiya xf-4 thinned with Gunze self levelling thinner. Difference in colour is because of my new daylight lamp. I wanted to show the difference.
Good lighting helps with painting.

That does indeed look good - that light makes a big difference.

How do you find that airbrush cleaning pot - does it help?

I can't answer for him, but I have one too and it is a great little tool. Of course, mine has been overused and so I need to replace it. Hopefully someday...

That blue is looking awesome. What a sharp little plane this is going to be.

The cleaning pot is very handy because it also doubles as a stand for my airbrush. And it is a more elegant solution then just spraying into the exhaust of my spraybooth.

I did my last masking for this build today. The parts where the de-icing boots come.




Next up is black paint.

Thanks for the info Gents!

That's going to look realy nice when de-masked Borg!

Very nice! I saw several of these kits at the model show back in April. I almost got one.

After the liquid mask disaster and clean up it did some detail painting. All done with a brush with Revell Aqua and GamesWorkshop paints. The wheels and props need another layer of black.
