I think my example was a bit better than others in terms of sink marks John; but I had the same fit issues with the fin tab and the different sized front fuselage where it meets the nose. But its an aircraft with personal connections for me so I guess Im prepared to deal with the fixes.
Looking good Steve. Used exactly the same masking techniques on mine and was very happy with result, only minor touch ups required. I know what you mean about the grey…. I sprayed mine initially in a darker grey but changed it to l lighter shade but it changed again when I applied the green. I’ve modelled a 27 Squadron machine (XH560) from the early 80’s and I have a black & white photo of the reception for the last ever sortie and the upper grey looks really light next to the underside colour.
@@TheModelShed hi Steve. Possibly is the answer…😂 The paint and decals are on but I‘m not a fan of heavily weathered models, I prefer the factory fresh look. I will probably go over it with a wash to bring the panel lines out but to be honest I’m waiting to see what you do…😂😂 Regarding pictures I can’t see how to attach them on here or on the Patreon page..🤔
Hi Steve, beautiful job on the masking and paint. With your experience with an actual Vulcan, this is probably the most accurate model being built today! Thanks for sharing.
It looks really good! I think the grey / green mix works very well. Everyone like's to paint the grey very pale. In my opinion this works better, more natural looking.
Yes it is tempting to use a lighter grey as you see so many photos of these in full sunlight and with faded airframes. I still think its a touch dark - and the green as well - but I think it should be ok when its done.
If you watch James May's spitfire build,you'll see him painting his 1to1 spitfire with rollers,it's the way they did it,it's only modern day aircraft,1990 on they used industrial airbrushes.
Steve. I really like the approach you have taken here. I am doing a 1/32 F-15C and i think i will follow your lead here and use the underside color with panel lightening by adding a drop or so of white as you have. The same on the upper surfaces. Normally i would black-base or pre-shade but a lot of modern USAF aircraft dont have the drastic weathering since they are revetment housed even in-theatre and not as exposed to the elements. Post shading will allow for any weathering without the starkness. I guess i am going back in time to early methods but in some cases it just seems more realistic. Great job, cant wait for Friday
I think weathering can be a bit overdone sometimes Ralph. Its important for me in this build to represent the aircraft as I remember them after we’d taken them through their major service. Everything stripped out and rebuilt - they looked like they’d just come out of the Avro factory.
@@TheModelShed Matt @ Doogs has been playing with multiple hues on top of hues for creating depth and variation which although taking layers upon layers to create is a very effective alternate approach which i find very interesting and subtle to the eye
Fair cop Matt; but in my defense when these aircraft left us after 12 weeks fettling, they sure didn’t look as thought they’d spent months bobbing about the North Atlantic.

Looks awesome, the reveal when removing the masking tape is such a wow moment.
One of my favorite jobs in modeling
Beautiful paint job.very subtle colour change
Thanks Jerry I’m pretty happy with it.
Nice work Steve, This is the 3rd build of this kit, and you don't seem to have the same problems as the other 2 channels, keep up the good work.

@@TheModelShed Your doing a great job with it.
Hi Steve am loving the build the masking and painting is something else thanks for sharing
Thanks Jim glad you're enjoying them.
Steve, thanks you gave me a number of great tips about masking a model for painting. That was a great video and very informative. Thanks again.
Thank you for that Steven - good to hear it.
Looking good 👍
Thanks 👍
Hi Steve, great video and tips. Will have to give the vinyl tape and circle cutter a try. Beautiful paint job
Yes I’m pleased with how it’s gone so far. I’m waiting for some gloss coat so I won’t be able to seal it up until the weekend.
Excellent paint job!
Thnaks Bryan its turned out well I think.
Great job. A true pro.
Thank you Adam

Is yours finished now Ian? I’d like to see some pictures of it 👍

Thanks Jeff. I’m sure looking forward to getting the decals on and a bit of VERY light weathering.

That’s right Charlie
Agree about post-shading versus pre-shading. Especially for a/c that were well cared for. Naval a/c, gate guards, boneyard birds--those are different.
We were pretty proud of the aircraft when they left us after their majors. That’s the memory that I’m trying to reproduce in this model.
Hi Steve! It´s a very nice Vulcan you have there. I remember the huge size of it when I saw it at Cosford. Will be nice to see it finished.
Yes Kent. I remember there were lots of hiding places to stay out of chiefy’s way

Steve who’s building the Vulcan and doesn’t like pre-shading, needs to have a word with Steve who’s pre-shading the panels on the Snowberry. 😄
Great work as usual. 👍
