I think I may have overdone the alcohol intake this Christmas, I keep seeing dots in front of my eyes !
Weathering still to be done so should tone it down a bit

I would do the dots slightly larger and less "established" .... slightly soft.

Hi Paul
You know me, never keep one for more than five minutes. If someone comes up with the right price I am always ready to sell.

Hi Steve looking good, it's certainly a challenge doing this type of paint Scheme been trying to do the same on my build since Christmas, and what a drag it's been, still it's nearly done now

Hi Roger
As you have obviously found out, it's a long process and working out the best order to mask and paint is a nightmare.
I used the Tamiya 2mm lining tape to lay out the pattern then filled in the masked areas with normal masking tape and paper. Looks good when finished and well worth the effort.
Regards
Steve
