The fiddle bits remaining for the avenger. Now to wait for the new blue in the mail, the kit should be on pause. I plan to rework the whole paint job, as I had some bad masks which caused little splatters where I didnt want them. The engine was given a burnt umber oil wash for some sludge (its still wet in the pic).

Looking back at the first pic I saw some chunky material and some prevailing seams on the right landing gear.. cleaned that up just now.

Just messed around with the oil paints to have a satisfactory taste of what can be accomplished.. dont mind the dirty surface, its not in the paint.. I just didnt feel like cleaning the crap off. Left wing is bare, and the right wing is where I tried some white and dark blue washes for a fade effect. Though i'd probably build it up this is just the start. Might as well practice while I wait for the new blue..

Getting closer, too bad about the blue, but like Daniel said, the front end looks good Cory...

Thanks boys.. still waiting for the new blue to come. Then rework the whole paint job, new masks and everything. No biggie after dealing with the Lib, seems a bit easy!

Might not make it Capt.. Sam's got all my free time at the moment. Could have a shot with the extension though.
