Brought my baby to the plane wash! Took a cereal bowl and filled it with tap water, 1 min in microwave and dish detergent and an old toothbrush and scrubbed er' clean.Next will be a "seam" check with some primer, then if all is well I will liquid mask the windows then store away and work on the Catalina..

About the only thing you need to make is the triangle G which is easy w/stencils if you can't find a scale G
 
So I was drinking my diet pepsi and thought looking at the can.. NMF!

So I cut it up and then placed one of my bomb bay doors to it and cut it to shape, then used a ruler and blade to make the lines, Used CA glue to hold it down. Now its not perfect because I did it and took the pictures but I will be sanding some edges and such to get it to fit.. it was pretty quick and painless and looks a nice "plated" look.

Thanks Woj, my biggest worry is my liquid mask holding up on the windows hoping that I got every little spot on the window and not letting my alclad penetrate it, busted windows would be a huge letdown!
 
Did some minor cutting and blade adjustments to the door, also gave it a light sanding which seemed to make it quite nice!!

Did a seam check with primer, it went ok but my putty didnt take too kind to it. After a rather nice full coat the putty stuck through and didnt seem to take color or blend in with the seam. The color of my primer is milky gray-white. So I sanded the seams more and re-did some putty in gap areas, hope the next go around it turns out better!!
