Thanks Daniel, Dirk, Terry and Kevin.

Kevin, Decals tomorrow will depend on how the gloss coat sets up. I may err on the side of caution and wait until early sunday to put them on. Very late tomorrow night would be the earliest.

Thanks Evan.

@Kevin - tried a couple of VERY small decals after 32 hours and it's still too tacky. Will try again later tonight.

Decals going on now. Those upper wing fasces had me worried - thought they would silver like nobodies business. In progress shots. Taking a break and will finish them up in a bit.

Thanks Evan and Terry.

All i can say right now is


DAMMIT!

One entire panel of windows (four windows total) popped out of the frame and is INSIDE the damn fuselage now. Son of a BYATCH! Not sure if I can get it back into place.

Thanks Aaron.

At least now I have actually found the blasted panel and have it secured with some tape. Just HOW I am going to reattach it is beyond me at this point.

DAM DAM DAM

Wonderful work. I can feel for you regarding the panel windows, it's what scares me from my RAF Hudson.

Can you give us some insight on your "spinach" camo? We have seen your stencils you made, but how did you cut out your patterns? With a razor knife? This is the part that has always scared me away from Italian aircraft (which happend to be one of my most favorite).
