As you say, a few rough edges but all in all it could have been worse. I once did this and the black paint bled under the masking tape and it turned out a complete mess

What a great build - love the Tempest and your paint looks great. Weathering invasion stripes always comes out very realistic and just adds to the overall look of toughness of the Tempest!
Great build ....keep it up

You think the museum painted it without considering symmetry with gear up? Wouldn't be the first time a museum painted something wrong.
Not invasion stripes but..

Quick update..
We have wheels, flaps, yellow leading edges and a Sky band round the tail.
I'm doing this a bit back to front. I had planned on doing the usual black highlight for the panels before doing a top coat etc but then i thought....
Its a nice effect and it works well with modern light colour and silver jets, it shows fading of panels well on US aircraft but how faded did a Tempest get in France, in a field in January 1944 ?..and with a life span of probably a couple on months ?
Weathering is probably more down to scratches and wear and repairs than subtle fading. To that end having produced a factory fresh paint scheme i will now destroy it :laugh:

Tempests didn't go to France in summer '44, Paddy. They were kept in the UK to counter the V1 threat. Can't recall which squadron you were planning to do, but if it's a 486 Squadron machine, I believe they were down at Newchurch, Kent so would have had access to base engineering and repair facilities.
