I have masked the blimp, and painted the markings EZ-1 on the sides, unfortunately the tape came off with the bit of paint. Nothing surprising.
I managedd to mask it again, and respray the damaged areas, but still need to smooth it out, as the new paint is shining too much.
The wash, and pigments should do the trick.
Heres few mock up shots just for fun:
Hope you like.
