Tail feathers painted - undercoat in white then shot in Tamiya flat red softened with a few drops of red brown. Seems I have deleted the progress photos of this step - my bad .
Tail masked with Bare Metal Foil at fillets and paper/tape for the rest . Foil also used at four rubber step pads at wing roots and also for exhaust surrounds .
I usually use foil to mask canopies but decided to try the Tamiya stickers as the were included - jury still out on this as far as convenience goes because you still need to cut them out . I’ll see what the end result is before passing judgment.
Rest of airframe shot in Stynylrez black primer in preparation for the Vallejo Aluminum.
