^ looks like the "hydro applied paint style" where they float the paint ontop of water then submerge the item to be painted. very cool.

Unfortunately, it only works with enamels. Most acrylics are denser than water (they won't dissolve that quickly). Metalizer (at least Testors) won't work, either. Maybe acrylics floating on glycerin... hmmm... must go back to the lab...

That is something I want to try.  Its the oil floats on water principle.  Have a few containers with sealing lids for reuse.  Each with a different paint color.

Westland Whynotte

A Queen's Cup Racer built from the remains of a Westland Whirlwind. It seems that the blokes hadn't noticed all the small print in the race rules, which led to its disqulification: the aircraft had to be able to taxi to the start line unassisted...

It is presumed that this wonderful machine, robbed of its chance for glory by a mere technicality, was broken up for scrap.

The Westland Whynotte II would be an interesting build, with wing-tip balancing wheels on fold-back struts or the same mid-wing, between the flaps & the ailerons. Hmm! ::)

I have never seen a paint job like that before!
Would you do all the colors at the same time?
Seems like it might work better if the subject were submerged first, put the paint on the water and bring it up through the paint. I saw a video where a gunstock was given a camo paint job by putting it in the water then laying basicly a large decal on the surface of the water then bringing the gunstock up out of the water. The decal stuck to the gunstock and wrapped around all the curved surfaces.
Something really worth trying.

There is a Sherman tank in there somewhere according to the description provided by the Nigel Rostance, the builder of this Martian Heavy Tank Herbert George in the recent Starship Modeler gallery update.  The engine deck and the VVSS suspension give it away but at first glance you could easily miss those key recognition features. 

Click on html or the thumbnail image to view the rest of Nigel's build.

NKL 26-inspired Kinder Sled built by Eric Marradi

The G.1 with the DB 601s got me thinking - mate the fuselages from two cheap Me-109 kits with the center pod from an Airfix F-189 (or the BV-141) or even with either type of Dinah nose (stepped or smooth). It would make a pretty robust A/C compared to the 189. Something similar in concept to the Soviet Su-12 (but with inline instead of radial engines)
