I use tabs like that all the time, or just stick a wad of bluetac on it!
Nicely done Charles.

Don't have any blutac, and can't find it in the stores, Bill.

Boo Hiss.... my paint did not come in today. Maybe it was being shipped UPS ??

My paint came in yesterday, so I painted the canopy (by hand). If we get some warmer weather and I'll spray the Light Gray undersides.

Edit: two pic's after the tape came off.... And some paint where the filler was....

It appears we are not going to have a day, anytime soon, that will be conducive to spray painting, so I went ahead and painted the P-40 with the old hairy stick.

Did the Neutral Gray last night and the Olive Drab this morning. I've decided not to do a camo. I'll let this dry a couple of days, then add the canopy.

Decals are next....

Fine job there Charles.

Blu-tak isn't always blue. It is very often yellow. It is the square putty-like substance sold at office supply stores. Why they use it is still a mystery to me, but there it is.

Nice work on the painting Charles, and on the canopy frames too - not the easiest material to paint, vac-form canopies.

Sweet work Charles.

Thanks, Wayne.... and the rest of you guys, too...
