| Thanks poppy. The reason I asked was that on the P-38, it looks almost as if the panel lines are recessed. Broke out the instructions for the Badger last night, but all the yellow/green stripes will be completed first on the Lib. |

| Model Master covers as well as Tamiya. Brushes well also when thinned with water. |

| What with this photo and the recent one showing the reflection of DD, perhaps there should be a 'meet the builder' section of the website, maybe in the Your Hangar bit? Regular contributors could then post photos of themselves, so everyone else can put a face to the name? No obligation to do so though especially for the camera shy - myself included, I think! |

| Handsome devil, eh? Poppy looks good, too. For a kid. Check out the finish!!! That's smooth! |

moostang51, that's all there is to panel lines. More as I progress. |

Plastic 6" rule now used for straight ligns and simple curves. Pic courtesy of my wife. |

And there you go. First line complete. |

Purple tape is used on difficult curves to guide pen. This tape has very little sticky surface so will not leave residue. |

| I will also use a 1/48" scale plastic model. Multiply measurements by 3 and you are very close. The Guillows model is almost 1/16" scale. When drawing lines over tissue or silkspan a light touch is needed. |

| For panel lines, these are my tools; a 6" plastic flex rule, a 12" and 18" metal rule, Pro painters purple tape, and a Faber Castille india ink pen both fine and small tips, and a suitable scale drawing. In this case I have a 3/4" scale drawing I can use for fuselage. And lots of patience. Measure 4 times, draw once. |

| I never tried Model Master Acrylics. How's the coverage? Always used Tamiya. And a double action brush, well I'll just hope that I don't get any condensate that you sometimes experience with a single action brush. It was a gift from the queen (wife) so maybe I'll give it a shot. Gotta get me a small compressor. Thanks and looking good, poppy. |

| ModelMaster acrylics, Dark Sea Blue over Intermediate Blue and White undersides. That is a Paasche VLS double action airbrush used with a Craftsman 1 HP compressor. I also use a Paasche single action brush but it's 30 yrs. old and leaks air a bit. |

| Bring it on poppy. I'm awaitin'. What kind of airbrush is that? I have a Badger 200.3 but no compressor, only the canned air. I usually thin with rubbing alcohol, very cheap esecially for cleaning. |

Out of finish paint shop. Moostang51, panel lines are next. |
| poppy, Image # 3808 | 31 Jul 07 05:55 |
Final sanding and primer coat. Next stop, paint finish shop. |

Tail feathers covered and doped, tail hook installed. |

Cowl flaps installed. I used .010 guage sheet plastic for flaps. |

| Well, I would prefer metal, but that's the idea behind the finish. |
