    Nice setup
    I think going from lightest colour to darkest would be best in most cases.

    Looking good so far.

    I started to like Rotorstorm after his brief appearance in LSOTW

    especially with the dark and light blue shades, it'll stop any paint bleeding.

    Cant wait for more updates!

    Thanks for the tips chaps, makes sense to me! I couldn't wait until next weekend to start painting so I went on a bit of a rampage after work today...Here's another update bots, paint's still drying but I had to show the prettiness.

    Well this was the night I was dreading, applying the silver paint.

    This stuff is a heck of a lot thicker than the regular non-metallic paint and while I thought I had put enough thinner in, when it came to spraying it spluttered and choked like nobody's business!

    Still, being the daring (stupid? ) type I perservered and managed to get the paint on without any dramas. Having said that, there was a lot of stopping and starting to clear my airbrush. Eep! Needs a bit of tidying up as despite having meticulously applied tape to the cockpit windows some silver still managed to get through in places...Ah well, a job for another day!

    Your masking came out great!
    I've found that thicker paint flows to the bottom of the cup faster so to mix it properly blow bubbles by placing your finger over the nozzle while pulling back on the trigger.

    Thanks mate. That's great advice re: the thicker paint, I'll be sure to give this a go when I do the other silver parts!
