the 30th of Nov, 2011...... what the? Has this been sitting on my shelf That long???? OMG!!!!! I'm puttsing around with this one during the break in my GB's. Can't believe the last photo I posted was filling gaps....
The gaps have been filled, the exterior painted my Tamiya Silver Leaf rattle can. The wings are Not attached, this allows working on the fuselage. Engines are in, props are just in place. I didn't get enough weight in the nose. I might have to drop something in the hole in front of the windscreen, which is not attached. I'll be painting the frame OD.
Today I painted the OD circle and sprayed a gloss clear over the circle, than hand trimmed the Gal from another decal for a B-17 and applied this, then sprayed with flat clear. I don't have to worry about markings, cuz there ain't any on this one. The plane was stripped of the overall OD, markings and all. The circle under the nose art is because the crew wanted to leave it on the plane. The only marking is the serial number on the top section of the vert stab, which remained OD as well as the rudders.
I still have to mask the turrets, they are a royal pain. I sailor on.
