I have also airbrushed "full white" on the outside struts, that will be painted white/red

Even in that scale this is not much large parts, base is good cover as I can see so no problem with final coat later ;)

After the "White primer day", today was the "masking tape day"...

I have masked the underwings. As you can see, it remains a border that will be painted in the same color than the upper camo.
I used Tamiya masking tape except for the cockpit where it is Eduard mask.

I've airbrushed Gunze H309 (the reference given by Eduard). I like it; sounds good...

Outstanding job on that Airco!!!

I have to scratchbuild the interior of my Roden Öffag 253... Sometimes, just sometimes, I wish Roden would do things the way Eduard does...

Let us see how it comes together. Have you chosen the camo scheme so far?

This PC-10 has just the right shade of brown for my taste, like it very much!
As for Part PE sets, they are really demanding, but give you great pleasure after installation. I would suggest it to you, Javier, just as well...

Thank you!

Again a masking phase, to prepare for the painting of grey. But first,  a little bit of white to prevent the PC10 to be too visible under the grey.

Grey was airbrushed this afternoon; so I removed all the tapes. I'm pretty glad with the result, there are only few minor correction to do...
