Alright so I was not happy at all with the paint job on one wing...

So what I did was I sanded it...masked all the areas I didnt want paint off..

Then I retried. That didn't work either so it got sanded again

Last picture shows the area as it stands now and I'm pleased with it. Landing gear, canopy, prop, next.

just posted these pictures in the Dornier thread by accident...

That would make it a Mustier - or a Dornistang!
Nice work H, it looks like a Mustang's 'glazed' wing.

Nicely done so far.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks, I was hoping to get the black done today but its raining, so I'll see what else I can do!

 

[Wurger]

Looking quite nice..

So tried the band today...for a minute it became the Blue Bird of Bodney...

Then I tried and they came out alright...

The bottom of it will be done after there dry.

*As always pictures out of order....

 

[Wurger]

A good job Harry.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks I think the bands went pretty well but they are a pain in the you know what.

 

[Wurger]

I don't think so Harry. Belts are a pain if your dad uses them at your , you know what.

Beauty H!

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks Andy!

So before it started to pour outside (and tornado warnings..) I decided to get the gear doors done and the propeller assembly painted.

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice but you'll need to scrape off some of that blue to make the spinner stick to the back plate.

Looking good.

I don't use plastic cement for this..its too messy already painted...a tiny bit of superglue does the trick..

thanks guys!
