Love the Oblix Mike, takes me back awhile. Looking forward to following your progress. Paul.

Mike, apologies for jumping on your build blog but thought you might like to see a photo of the completed paint job. The comments by Andy B regarding the durability of a doped surface are spot on, the surface is easy to mark when handling in the workshop but I am pleased with the finish considering there were a number of firsts for me during the process. I would recommend going the glass cloth route. Decals are from Pyramid Models with the aircraft codes produced by a club member on his vinyl cutter, I still have to make the 3 Sqdn crest for the tail and am going to try and make a water slide transfer (another first!) Hope this spurs you on with your build. Paul

Hi Devon Slopes and Mike if your here. I decided to follow Andy's lead and use tissue and dope, I should state here that it must be 20 years since I last used this medium so it was a bit of a trial. However it worked but I agonised over getting a good finish. The filler primer is from Halfords (didn't have any grey) and I'm using acrilyc paint for the top coat. The whole process is not what I would call speedy! I thought about glass cloth but doubted my ability to get a good result and didn't want to spoil all the work in getting the airframe finished. Pete's idea of using film would have been better and quicker. I met Pete last year at Leek and Moorland when he maidened his model, they are my photo and video on his build blog. I haven't started a build blog, bit new to this forum, but may start a retrospective but there are some photos in Album's under Canberra B (I)8.
