    Taped the waterline and covered the lower hull.

    Sprayed over with the final dark grey. Mixed up 3 portions black with one portion light grey, single-action airbrush set to very thin until i got a very fine soft spray effect.Cut with nitro-thinner and sprayed over. Time-consuming, very little paint per shot. Of 40ml paint i used 10ml in about 30 minutes.

    Picture no.1 showing first layer to the left and untouched hull on the right.

    Will brush and wipe the upper hull after curing. Edges/rustmarks/aluminum silver on the rails and dome etc. from the detailing were left visible as is a slight streaking on the limber holes as planned.

    I tried to catch that in the pictures. Figured my HD-photos will be SD in here for any reason

    All thats left should be minor detailing...and very little bird poo.

    Comments welcome.

      Update on painting: Rubbed down the flat grey, dry brushing the rails with aluminum, adding subtile rust and streaking to the floodholes etc. Rust made from red and flat ocre, sprayed over with flat grey on some spots of the hull to reduce the effect. Will wait 'til tomorrow to inspect waterline. I think its right now.
