My chum Dennis got frustrated hand-painting a P-47 model so asked me to bail him out
Steps involved were:
Cover old paint job with black primer:
Black bars on top of fuselage:
Mask the black
overspray white
Yellow tail and red nose
Mask the yellow and red flare
Spray chrome all over
remove masking
pick out details and touch up
gentle black wash to bring out panel lines
Decals - these were a total nightmare - very fragile and very stubborn to get off the paper
