Can't say I was up with the birds this morning, but the birds were still getting the worms when I did make my way into the office.
Decided to give this black basing ago. After a quick chat with Eric and a re-read of his Mirage and Hornet threads on the subject, I went in to the garage to give it a go. Narrow, close backed lines are the go, I was told. I started with the horizontal stabilisers. Here they are close, but need more which was added later.
Getting the line width right by getting the right pressure, distance and adjustment screw setting was a challenge, but by the end I was betting much better.
Topside and tails done. Looking good, but still more needed.
Underside done too. Much closer to be finished.
Undercarriage and wheels.
Engine cowls and bay doors done too. The outside of the doors are black base hatched and the inside gloss white.
Another coat of white on the internals of the doors still go, then I will start applying the many light coats of white to the underside surfaces tomorrow. Please grant me patience.
