March 1st - RAF Markings Repaint

The RAF markings were originally painted at the back end of 2017. Over the years, the blue enamel paint had faded quite a lot and had become a very pale blue. I didn't like the way it now looked, so it was time to give them a repaint ( see inset compared to the repainted small roundels ).

 I found 250ml tin of water based Oxford Blue on the B&Q website, but when I called in at the store, it turned out they don't actually stock it in the store. I find the lack of stock at the local B&Q frustrating at the best of times. I wasn't prepared to pay for shipping on top of B&Q prices, so found the same paint on Amazon and got free shipping and a cheaper price!

Everything blue had a first coat on February 28th and as the large roundels still showed some brush strokes and thin areas, they were given a second coat with a glossing roller on March 1st.
