I got some done (up until late or early 5:00 am )
I started with Vallejo Light Gray, 71.298, as my primer and also to simulate the canvas.
I tried a different brand of paint for the red,
I went to a local hobby shop which is owned and operated by an Army Vet. I love supporting small businesses and especially armed service vets.
His does not carry Vallejo products. I chose a Citadel brand and Inktensity.
I used the Inktensity for the red.
It covers really well and also seems to have a type of "plastic" coating as well. This brand will not chip or come off masking with tape.
For the masking of the cockpit, I used Silly Putty.
Fir the white areas I think I'll use Vallejo White Grey 71.119. I do not want it stark white. I want it to look as natural as possible.

Anyway this is where I'm at...

[QUOTE="GaryG64, post: 222970, member: 20563"] I got some done (up until late or early 5:00 am :D :rolleyes:) I started with Vallejo Light Gray, 71.298, as my primer and also to simulate the canvas. I tried a different brand of paint for the red, I went to a local hobby shop which is owned and operated by an Army Vet. I love supporting small businesses and especially armed service vets. His does not carry Vallejo products. I chose a Citadel brand and Inktensity. I used the Inktensity for the red. It covers really well and also seems to have a type of "plastic" coating as well.
