Joe, are those the PE type brass masks that have a number of of mottle schemes on them?? I have that, some where, but have yet to try it out.
I hear ya about trying to get her done in the next couple months. I've nothing significant to post on my build. I've run into some paint problems while laying down the underside colour as a primer. Must be a decades old bottle of paint, but it took four rounds of spraying and sanding till I finely got a decent finish with no blemishes on the surface.
regards,
Jack
