That's not a zero, that's at least an 8....

Sublime preshading my friend, the colour you used is interesting and I can't wait to see how it will interact with the top coat.

Most well sprayed,PB.  As Guy said, it will be interesting to see what shakes out with the base.  |

That pre-shadeing looks great Paul and it'll really add some life to the top coat.

This is going to be epic! I want a televised de-masking ceremony------with Monkey Shoulder and Red Velvet Oreos.

Thank you chaps, but the idea went terribly wrong. Dunno what for sure, but I think the Revell Aqua, Ferrari Red, has gone desperately off  . I sprayed the red on on in very thin coats over the last couple of days, left it to dry until this evening. Then I removed the first mask, and pulled the paint partly with it. It was as if the painted Hinomaru had become a vinyl sticker  . Anyhow, I was able to pull, scrap the rest of the paint off. Next will be a light re-prime of the areas and then I shall try again.  |

Omg Paul, what a setback this is!
Maybe it's an idea to redo the damaged areas with Tamiya Flat red with a tad of gloss clear added to it? It won't come off then.

Count your blessings, it is still an early stage. Worse come to the worst; VMS clean slate. Done it many a time, no shame in it at all!

Sorry to hear that, Paul! What a strange reaction with that paint. Did it just not want to latch on the primer? Almost like it refused to cure.

Cheers chaps, this set back doesn't mean the end of the build.
It's just bloody annoying.
Not 100% sure what happened, but I think the main cause was the old paint, that coupled with possibly too much thinner.
I'm certain it wasn't the primer, the wings were primed with Mr Surfacer 1200 rattle long ago.

Back again and this time with good news . This time I mixed the Hinomaru red with Vallejo Model Air 71.003 (RLM23) and 71.102 (Red), these were mixed 10 to 12 drops with 7 drops of thinner. After 10 minutes I pulled the masking off and this time, without any nasty surprises .    |
