Thanks Flybobby, so far so good!
The weather was dry, but had a strong wind, so i decided to still carry on spraying. The rear superstructure deck required re-masking so as it could be sprayed grey. The funnels on the factory model on the box had them in white, to keep with the same look as the Dusseldorf i went with Nissan red instead. The hull was masked off again
so as i could put the final coat of grey on, this time spraying the rubbing strip also. The last thing i had to do was to mark the waterline. This was done using a dry wipe marker pen glued to an old video cassette (Not much use for anything else...thank you DVD!). Then i masked off the line with 6mm Tamiya masking tape, and filled in the rest with 40mm Tamiya tape (expensive stuff the tape, but not a single bleed
,) then off to the garden with Halfords black gloss spray paint...let the spraying begin. After an hour passed the paint was dry enough to remove the masking tape. The boat will be dry tomorrow, but i have a busy few days ahead, not sure if i will get a chance to do some more....Mmmm?
