As I’ve
mentioned, it is always best to group your paint requirements so that you’re
painting multiple models with the same paint. It might be more prep, but it
certainly saves on cleaning time, wasted paint, and just sheer modelling
efficiency. I’m not sure how I ended up with no less than five models that
required Black paint, but I worked my through all of them tonight. There was
even one model in progress, a Tiger Force Lanc, that needed Black but didn’t
make the session since I did not get it properly masked in time.
First up
is the Arctic Rose DC-3, which needed de-icer boots on wings and tail surfaces,
as well as the antiglare panel on the nose. There is some White touch-up needed before I mask for the NMF part of the wings and fuselage.
Both the
Ear Falls Norseman and the DHC-1 Chipmunk needed an antiglare panel also. The
Beech Starship just needed the prop spinners taken care of.
Finally,
the Eurofighter required a Black tail and spine for the anniversary scheme of
11 Squadron RAF. I just realized that I forgot to paint the canards too.
(sigh)…
There
was one other color put through the brush this night, though, for the Egyptian
Hurricane. This was for a Sky fuselage stripe and prop spinner.
Hopefully
this will clear out the paint queue for a few days at least. But the fiery
forges of the 72 Land production facility are rarely quiet, so it won’t be long
until the backup begins anew.
