Thanks Tom, yeah, should have thought of it before, but I shot already the 1st layer of yellow, need another one still

That’s looking real good so far Kari. I’m sure you’ll get the yellow on the upper wings just fine. And I can’t wait to see that Curtiss Seagull! Somebody really needs to make a kit of one in 1/48.

Thanks Carlos, yes, two layers did the trick!

I forgot to take a pic of the yellow wings, I have masked / protected them already before next paintround.

Ok, main paintwork is done and I can focus on the decals.

Unfortunately, my canopy masking was not all over 100% "paint tight", but was able to remove at least the most visible spots with some thinner.
