Ok.........first attempt at a splinter on a wingy
I`m quite pleased but i need to do a little bit of refinement here and there but nothing major......
  
I think once tidied up, gloss coat and decs and the panel washes it might look ok

No mate.......my AB needle is too big/wide for the small panel lines, a wash will be better and the Flory washes work well..........apparently

Only joking Boots, the flory washes do work well but they scare the hell outta me when I use 'em   Just be sure to get a good shiny covering on and all will be well

Yeah i must invest in a smaller needled AB at some point........my one isn`t really suitable for small stuff and tight camo jobs, i`ve watched a vid on using the Flory washes on the Flory site.........seems straight forward enough  , scary as they may seem they do look good as shown in ya Spitfire  I`ll be laying down a gloss/satin coat as mentioned

When you start removing the wash, wipe it orfe diagonally to the panels lines  . That way you wont need to wash over again. I also used a very soft cloth, it was actually a glasses cleaning cloth  .
