Just curious. Full size would have put the stripe on first with no masking. and then masked the line to the width required.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Anyone know anything about the wedge on the bow ?

That deck is amazing. Great work getting it lined up so perfectly. I'd be terrified of that!

Looks amazing Ajay. nearest I've come to that is making the knifes you are using, well an older model of it anyway, to fill in some time between contracts I worked for an engineering company and one of my jobs was to make those knifes, the handle the collet and insert, made roughly 300,000 of them all hand turned on a lathe, mind numbing work but it paid for my flying lessons

In wartime some warship decks were painted blue.

I put it off for a bit but by the time i was doing the rear section you get a hang for how much you can work it.

It is. Had a job once drilling holes in round bar using a lathe. Was 2" (aluminum) and 6" (steel). Sometimes had to tap them as well. The 6" was on machine from WW2.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

The company had 12 bar fed automatic lathes making all those tiny little brass screws that you find in plugs and sockets in the UK, it was a contract for MK, we put out about 500k screws every week, we did not have any CNC machines they were al mechanical and driven by custom made cams and a mixture of mechanics and pneumatics. The knife handles were done by hand on lathe and capstan lathe, aluminium was really quite abrasive and it blunted the tools quite quickly.
