As I have said , last day I have painted the National Insignia with Montex mask. This product is very fine, the work is some difficult, but the result is very rewarding.
Step 1
step 2
step3
step 4
and this is the final result
After this phase, I have worked on the weathering effect, using the hairspray method (see my precedent posts).
Since the base coat of hairspray was sprayed some day ago, is necessary a strong action, but only after verify if with a soft brush there aren't visible effect.
The pictures illustrates better than words !!
step 1 (hard brush and hot water)
step 2
step 3
Now I go at my workbench for more progress....
stay tuned!!

Those roundels are a work of art in themselves. Really impressed with the chipping as well

Hi guys, for me is the first time to apply the hairspray on a airplane. The base coat of hairspray was worked after 48 hours and was necessary an hard treatment.
The final result satisfied me.
I have sprayed a base coat of future for apply the decals and for protected the precedent work.
I muffled the hard colour of decals with diluited base varnish and replaced others scratches with little sponge.
Now next step , treatment of panels with oils.
ciao

It is rare we see the hairspray technique on an aircraft, not sure why because it's so effective. Love it Mike!
