While having some time off work one of the unfinished, long term projects I wanted to crack on with was painting the Sand Scorcher. I had filled, sanded and primed it a while back so I gave it a few coats of white before leaving it for a week.

I pondered over masking the blue for quite some time, the curves had me worried. Initially I thought I could cut out some masks, in-fact that was the plan until quite by chance I stumbled across some Tamiya flexible masking tape while browsing in my local HobbyCraft. It turns out this is wonderful stuff, making short work of all the curves on the ‘box art’ scheme.

Now its sitting on a shelf waiting for me to polish it up with some finishing compound and then apply the decals.

I’ve finally got round to uploading some pics I took while building the Scorcher, body is not painted yet. I’ll hopefully find the time to do that before long!
