Now we move onto the first coat of paint and for this I’m using Mr. Color C363 Medium Sea Grey.
Now for the topside camo. I use these brilliant print off yourself masks that I found a while back by a gentleman called John Eaton. They are intended to be used for 1:48 aircraft but by simply printing at 150% they become 1:32 scale.
Also in the file I found online was the ‘B’ pattern and some reference pictures of the masks applied to a model to help make sure they are applied correctly.
So I masked off the underside and and gave the top a coat of Mr. Color C362 Ocean Grey and then applied my masks.
Then the Mr Color C361 dark green was applied.

George Eberling says
Do you have a tutorial on how to do invasion stripes?
Geoff Coughlin says
Hi George,
That’s a good question and I don’t think so – specifically in the SMN Techniques Bank, but there will be! I’ll look to create one for everyone very soon. In the meantime, do check out Aircraft-Finished Now and pick any of the finished model projects that feature aircraft with these stripes and pick up any hints and tips that you can. Best wishes, GC (30Dec21)
