| we'll see how it looks with the semi-gloss clear overcoat but this just might work out |

| Looks pretty good. Steady hand. I'm working with the same colors and a similar design for the A-26. Guess I'll have to post a picture. |

| More like a quasi steady hand and a bit of black and red touch up. The white striping is done with a sharpie poster paint marker from Staples.
Goes on smooth and stout and takes the clear coat just fine. |

| Thanks for the information on the Sharpie. I am familiar with he rest. |

| Excellent job HW! Thanks for the tip on the sharpie too. That white had to be really thick or as you say, stout. |

| the method I used was to paint the base red..then mask for the black. Then leaving the masks in place after the black had dried, I used the masks as a guide for the pen. keeping the line 'half on - half off' the tape edge. I made two passes with the pen allowing the lines to dry for an hour between passes. There was some bleed under the tape as there always seems to be, but as it is white paint the red easily covers it when I touched up. |

| I quit using the blue tape. Less bleeding with Tamiya or Frog tape. |
