| Once again, really glad I took the time to create proper sockets for all those struts - it made things much easier than if I hadn't done so i.e. with my Fokker Triplane |

| I'm not sure whether to paint these as per the plans - white with a red centre - or just green to match the rest of the plane, or some other colour/scheme! |

| Looking very sharp! |

| Chris, there is no reason that you can't get a model carefully done with Liquitex to fly. Lots of the guys doing the larger RC models are using acrylic house paint!

| One of these days we'll find out that David owns stock in Liquitex and funds this hobby by getting us all to buy them. ;-)
But seriously, I think all of us that have used Liquitex are big fans of the stuff. Some day I'll even get a plane to fly after being painted with Liquitex. |

| Yes David, I was quite pleased with the results, not bad for a first attempt anyway. Moostang, this was the first time I'd used acrylics since I used to make Tamiya 1/35 scale AFVs many moons ago and used their own paints to paint them with. I found they dried so fast that I had a very hard time applying them satisfactorily, and this put me off these paints, and I suppose acrylics in general. Trouble is I've never been able to get a decent finish with paints and brushes alone, and that's why I began to finish my models using coloured tissue instead. However, I have a Guillows B-25 Mitchell lined up and also a series 400 P-40 Warhawk to practice on first, with at least the B-25 requiring painting, so I knew I needed to give it another go. I chose Liquitex purely because they are DD's medium of choice - I figured that if HE used them then they must be good! I found them much easier to use than the Tamiya ready mixed paints, with longer, though still quick, drying times. I followed DD's excellent tutorial on the Guillow's forum and applied a grey primer first, then several thin coats (it seemed like about 6-8) of each colour, although I think I need to apply still thinner coats next time. Practice makes perfect! |

| Excellent work. Three colors on colored tissue......how did you handle primer for these??? |

| Very sharp, crisp lines. Also like that dispenser for the Tamiya tape. What were your impressions of the Liquitex? |

| It looks as if your first dabble was a success. |

A little colour for the tail feathers! Next up is the undercarriage. |

The results of my first dabble with Liquitex acrylics and Tamiya masking tape. |

| Moostang, this is what I used for the separation lines, cut into thin strips. |
| poppy, Comment for image # 5130 | 21 Nov 07 19:47 |
| Ditto. This is looking fantastic. Covering is perfect and color is right on. Super job, my man!! |
