Mark,

Not saying I am going to do it right away. I want to fly it too,;)
But these will be nice to have when it gets cold and I need something to do.
I do think missiles are comming soon. That just makes the plane for sure.

Hi Mark !

As i have just ordert myself the New Eurosport from Composite Arf in all Grey i also would be very interested in the vinyl file !
I would be very thankful if you could also send me this file ;), my friend runs a graphic shop, so it´s no problem for him to cut them for me !
Here is my email adress:

Guys,

A little more progress today. All I can say is that you guys that get mirror finish perfect paint jobs then I admire your skill no end!!! [X(]

Anyway, my efforts.....

1. Underside sprayed very light grey/white
2. Underside masked out ready to spray top of wing
3. Top side sprayed light aircraft grey - the vinyl 'panels' work quite well I think?!?
4. Another shot of 'panels'

1. Spraying underside of fuselage grey/white
2. Another shot of grey/white on underside.
3. Fuselage completed in light aircraft grey.

Now the fun of masking out the camo?!?! [&:]

Will,

Yes but I shoot them with a thin coat of 'plastic primer' from an aerosol first.

Will,

Any sign/sticker shop will have it.

I guess you could even use protrim but if you get a sign writer to cut the vinyl for you you can get perfectly round corners etc

Thanks.

I'll try and post some pics tonight if I get the blue camo sprayed today.

Do you guys use any special paint to spray your retract legs??

Got the blue camo on tonight. Oh isn't masking a joy! Fortunately I had the wife helping me out so it halved the time it would have taken me!!!

A few shots...

Note the 'inspector' :D

Next is the dark grey camouflage. Hopefully that'll go on as nicely as the blue went on.

Hmmm, but we don't need the "...is that meant to be like that?...." question when we clearly know it isn't :D :D :D

Thanks,

Plan on spraying the U/C and wheels grey/white tonight and changing the paint line of the white on the underside of the nose slightly.

Will post pics if I do it.

Need to get the grey camo paint tomorrow so I can finish her off.

Yeah,
But sometimes you never spot the panel line you missed on the other wing, or the run in the paint.:eek::D
