Small update on the G-4. I applied the yellow trim to the aircraft and did some post-shading on it. Looks Hobby Craft's paint callout for the size of the wing bands was not correct as the yellow should only be on the outermost two underside wing segments so about half of that will be masked off. Next will be the RLM-76 underside color. The colors of the wheel wells has always been a source of contention on the G's so I think I will stick with RLM76 wheel bays which was recommended by a couple of sources. Stay tuned...............

I dunno why, but I always prefer to spray those bands after the main painting is done ... spose it's personal preference .

Thanks, Paul! Probably laziness on my part. Less to mask.

But what worries me is, will the mask withstand all the further painting, washing etc without pulling the first colour off
