That looks real good. I did my de-icing boots by hand. Its quicker and easier. A little tip for you is to watch a signwriter. He uses a stick with a cloth bundle on the end. He then places it near the subject and uses it as a stabiliser for his brush hand. I have nearly finished my version of this aircraft. I might have to revisit the seams, but I will see how bad they are. Good vid and a good build so far.
thats called a mahl stick, I've been in the decorating trade for forty years, the gaffer's dad when I started, at that point semi retired, had been a champion signwriter at national level just after world war two. I've managed to find some tamiya masking tape for curves I forgot I bought! it will easily bend to match the profile of the tail, I will show its use in my next update
I love this old kit and your doing a great job with it. 👏
Thanks a bunch! I've really enjoyed building this from the start.
