Note white patches on wings... Approximate by eye how wide the invasion
stripe grfk will be in total and free hand with white gloss spray.
(this white is $1.59 a can from Walmart) 4 or 5 coats, about 30 minutes
apart. let it all dry over nite.

Blue tape:

Image

There are varying grades of blue tape, from really sticky to not very
sticky. This is a "medium grade." The really sticky stuff will pull
your paint off, and the not very sticky won't stick the airplane. This
in 1 inch wide tape, which makes for a 5 inch total width invasion
stripe grfk... Paint your black stripes, again this black is $1.59
Walmart rattle can...

Fold and tape a 1/2 paper towel over your black stripes...

Image

And paint with, Rustoleum Cammo Tan. Keep can high over your plane and
work quickly to make the "fuzzed" look where the gray bottom meets the
tanned top.

Before you take the tape off, shoot your Rustoleum Cammo Brown, again
keeping your can high around the transition line, and move fast in
adding your cammo to the top...


This is a little Guillow's Spitfar:

Image

This is rattle cans... Tan with green... You spit will be either
overall blue, over all gray with green, or gray bottom, (or sky blue)
tan top with brown...
