Whoops :whistle
Should have mentioned - I use Vallejo model-air primer and paint.
Thanks for the tip, though. I'm going to gently heat the bottles and see if it helps.
A saucepan of warm water is ideal for warming rattle cans.
Cheers, Del :grin:

Before spraying, today, I heated the paint bottles in some lukewarm water. It seemed to do the trick, as they sprayed lovely. :cool
Thanks for the tips guys.

First of, I sprayed the nose intake red before masking it.
Next the whole thing got a coat of black.

This is a simple scheme I seen recently in a magazine - I think it was RV decals. I don't have the exact nose serial, but in this case close enough will be good enough. :redface
Anyway, nearly finished. :grin:

OK - After unmasking, I realised I'd made a huge booboo :redface
I forgot to paint the instrument coaming and rear cockpit deck :bang: They should also have been black, but now stick out like a sore thumb.
I'd look over it if this was the first time I'd done this, but its about the third or fourth time in recent years. :whistle

The canopy is well secured, so I'll just have to live with it.
Next is a bit of detail painting on the landing gear, guns etc. Then a coat of Klear and some decals.
Far from my best work but it done its job in getting the mojo flowing.
Further pics in the Gallery.

Thanks for looking in. :grin:
