Have a bunch of pictures to post to bring this up to date.
First. Painted the lower sonar dome and gave both dome's a light over spray to soften the lines.
Following the pattern I drew on paper, placed 1/16th strips of low tack tape in position.
Using the same paint I sprayed on the sonar domes, I gave a shot to the center of each squared off area. At first it was difficult to get the center with the airbrush, but after a few tries I got into the groove. I lowered the compressor pressure down to 10-15 psi as per David's procedure.
I then sprayed the base color over the works to soften the effect. I started this over spray with the tape still in place, then removed the tape and gave it another over spray of the base color.
The following is the final appearance after the tape was removed and the final base coat over spray. I'll be spraying a light coat of flat clear to protect it all before I remove the rest of the masking.
Once the clear is applied, tomorrow, I'll tackle doing the lower rudder and underside of the aft dive planes, both red.
I hope this looks right, as I do not want to have to do anything over!
