Thank you Sall! And yes, you will surely work better than me. There are no secret, it's the same for everybody: to learn, and to apply what you've learned...

Low density sponge? Good idea for protection!

Yes, exactly! Easy to use, you cut bigger than needed and the sponge occupes all the space... It's the second time I use that technique; first time it was with my Flitzer and I was really satisfied. More than that, not so evodent to mask the rear of the fuselage of the DH2... But with the sponge, no problem at all...

The sponge idea is GENIUS! :-cool I've always folded a small amount of paper towel or toilet paper and stuffed it into cockpit and wheelwell openings but the sponge will seal much, much better.Thanks for that tip, friend.

Great to see your work!

Well, it was REALLY NOT a good day to try to work on that DH2...

Preparing the paint for airbrushing ("Dope" = Gunze H85), my bottle of paint felt to the ground. I reacted quickly so loss of paint is not too important.
...Then, my mix of paint + thinner... Felt to the ground! A quick reaction limited the loss to half of the preparation...

Well, I decided to airbrush what remained of the mix, than to do -at least for today- other tasks than airbrushing...

Oh yes, and I have also to remove some of the PE elements, there were glued too quickly: first I will have to place cockade decals and only after, the PE...

As I will have to manipulate the painted zone, I've airbrushed gloss varnish on the dope this morning...
