Yes , thats right tommy, like I have said , white is a hard colour, the hull will have 4 coats of paint before it looks right, the camo on this side is not quite right , there will be some correcting in later posts. :woo_hoo: :woo_hoo:

do you paint white on white--or are you priming with grey first?

I have had similar issues trying to get white to look ' dense '...

Intrigued!

Looking very nice! :thumbs_up_1: I really like the paint scheme, I've always been a fan of "Western Approaches" camo.
