Spent a portion of the day working on the J-79 engines. I used a combination of MRP paints. Mr color and Tamiya paints on the bunder section . Parts first spray with 1500 black base primer . NATO green thinned down pretty thinned and light sprayed over black for some color variation in the burner section. Next to start working on the instrument panel

Some more progress on the Tamiya Phantom. Got the instrument panel complete. I had issues using the kit decals. was now happy with thr results. So i sttipped the panel and redit it. I used decals froma few other Phantom kits and the Waldron punch set. This time the IP looks much better. Intakes are also complete. Jst spray the inaktes with Mr. White 1000 and called it good . Compessor blades sprayed with 1500 black primer and alclad stainless steel .
