Ok... I'm gonna be rushing through these next few painting steps. I'm leaving for a week in Hawaii and I wanted to get the hairspray chipping done before I leave tomorrow.

The main fuselage color is the late war variation of RLM 76. It's a yellow-green color similar to RAF Sky. You can see that the Mr Hobby Aqueous version of RAF Sky matches the paint chip pretty well. Being described as a "fragile" color and prone to color fading, I'm going to tint the Mr Hobby Aqueous color with some tan (Mr Hobby Aqueous Hemp).
Image

Using a thinner:paint ratio of about 1.5:1, the Sky color is slow added to the fuselage, working small areas at a time.

Image

Using thin mixes, you can modulate the pre-shading effect exactly the way you want it. In my case, I want a very subtle, almost invisible to the eye, effect.
Image
Image
Image

Leaving the tail assembly for later, I move on to the upper fuselage.
Image
Image

Covering large areas with a thin mix of paint takes time but it's a good practice of airbrush control, especially if you paint within panel lines and around objects.
Image
Image
Image

After the fuselage is done, I move on to the next color, which is the lighter RLM 75 Grey for the wings.
Image
Image

The second wing color is RLM 74 Dark Grey. Both grey shades are Mr Hobby Aqueous colors. No masks have been used, just careful spraying with the Iwata HP-C Plus.
Image
Image
Image

After I let the grey shades dry for about an hour, I attacked the wing roots with a stiff paint brush and water. There's a little more paint over the hairspray than is ideal but I was able to eke out some chipping.

I’m liking where this is going :hmm:

Just outstanding!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
