Well, I'm slowly priming myself up to get some paint flying this weekend, that is if the weather holds up.
I experimented on the lid of some hand cleaner for the best way to do the checkerboard on the cowling. Months ago after lots of research, I bought some Bob Dively Models Liquid Mask. I was reading that this is the best way to lay them out.
I'm thinking the best way to skin this cat is...
#1 Paint the cowl white
#2 Brush at least two coats of Liquid Mask over it.
#3 Lay out the checkers and remove the areas that are to be black.
#4 Paint the cowl white again to seal the edges and keep the black from creeping under the masked areas.
#5 Hit it with black and then remove the masked off white areas.
Now, this all sounds easy, but so did the rivets in the beginning!
