Nice work so far Glenn!

X-1B

I gave the old paint a light wet sanding with 800 grit then sprayed on a coat of Floquil Old Silver. Next is masking for the Bright Silver.

Great smooth finish.

 

[Crimea_River]

Yup, with Vic on that.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work so far Glenn!

 

[T Bolt]

Masking for the second shade of silver and sprayed it on.
I had a bit of panic last when I opened up the kit box and it was empty. no landing gear. No decals. After a 10 min search I found everything in the other X-1 kit box.

Gotta love that panic mode. Happens to me way to often

 

[Crimea_River]

Always a relief to find a missing part.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Oh what panic that would have caused me, glad all turned out well and love the spray job.

 

[Gnomey]

Looks good so far Glenn!

 

[T Bolt]

All the masking is off including the stuff that's been on there for 5 years, some of which did not give up without a fight.
