It DOES help, Pascal! Thank you!!
I use Tamiya Extra Thin Cement almost exclusively but will have to look out for the white cap glue. Know a shop in Dublin where I think I could get it: The Modeller´s Nook, owned by my friend Chris.

Good evening,

You're welcome Thomas.
I really apologize as I just realize I forgot to answer your question
The H&S is the Infinity, 2in1 version with 0.15 and 0.4 needles/nozzles.

Small update.

A very thin veil of Light Gray went on aluminum rims.
Maskol protects tires.



The Maskol is removed and black is quickly sprayed to do a touch up on the tire and slightly darken the flanks



The first weathering step:



It was also time to take care of the wings.
One word about the build quality: Perfect!





Wing tips are separate parts ...





Deadly accuracy of the assembly!!

Care should be taken not to forget to pierce the upper surface for the passage of small circular lights mounted from inside.



The propeller received his second thin coat of Alclad Black



Then ... 2 light coats of Airframe Aluminum



The blades are then taken up with a little more pressure and less paint to keep the tone, thickening the layer to make it more solid and less shiny

Time for the Black (Semi Gloss Black from Model Master Acrylic)



The layers are very thin while emphasizing the central, and the trailing edge of the blades.
Lighter on the leading and the rear end face of the blades.



The yellow should be passed quickly on the blades tips.

That's it.

Very clear close-up pictures and good progress again!
Thanks for sharing!

Hi,

Thanks Thomas!

Time for Yellow!
Masking tape and a bit of Maskol on the tip leading edge:



Yellow Zinc Chromate as primer:



Insigna Yellow:





A mist of yellow is srayed on the back side:





Discreet, but that's the purpose!

Part of the hub is painted Mat Alu and the tip Airframe Alu.

Hi,

Micro progress
But it was a very busy day:

- Sport early this morning (Japan GP practice),
- small flight just after the morning sport to enjoy this sunny day,
- housework (garden ...), but some connection with aviation!
