But it's interesting to see how you do yours , your nouiport is coming on nicely, I have built about 6 boddo designs myself, I've only flown three of those boddo models , they fly well, from Tony from Bedfordshire
The Nieuport looks very good so far , you have a very steady skilled hand Mark. I'm curious, what was your vocation in life before retirement ? I tried freehand painting RAF Roundels on a plastic model with very limited success many years ago. 🙂👍👍👍Cheers Paul
Good job. These kind of details are not my thing. I do like scale details but would not go to the effort of hand painting. I think what I would have done is to cut circles out of covering and iron them on.
Mark, your building skills continue to amaze your fan from Tennessee USA.
Wow, thanks! too kind

Cool Hand Mark fabulous roundels, looking forward to seeing your maiden flight. Jeff in LA USA

Very cool mark doing this by freehand.
Cheers Chris
Really nice, like new 🙃
Not quite but a great improvement on what it was.
Well done Mark, this is how they were done originally of course 👍🙂
Only 7 more to do 😂

Thanks for the compliment, I was a Geography teacher Ive always found a release in using my hands and have been making "stuff" since I was a nipper.
Well done Mark! My grandfather was a GWR coach painter but I don't think that much of his shine has rubbed off on me! Where do you buy your brushes?
They are just cheap brushes I picked up at a bargain stationary shop (The Works).

Mark, I certainly envy your steady hand. Apologies if you have said, but what paint are you using?
Thanks, it's Vallejo mainly water based acrylic very good.
Just wondering why you haven't done the overall silver paint first and painted the roundels on top?
The aluminum colour makes it difficult to overpaint.
thanks for your videos mark, I don't like this bit either
