My wife says it should have rhinestones all over it. Refer to this thread.

Don't know if this helps.

I musta missed that one, Bill.... No, no rhinestones. That little "hoochy-coo" double circle thingy, under the stabilizer was enough.
That took quite awhile to do. Anyhow, it's all masked and will be painted, today, with the Intermediate Blue. Pic's later today.

That little diagonal stripe on the vert stab is a Yorktown marking......

 

[Wayne Little]

tricolour scheme is a better choice than the single later colour.....but thats just my 2 cents....

 

[Airframes]

I agree, I think the three-colour scheme looks good, and more so on a large scale model.

I thought the white diagonal line was Enterprise.

It doesn't matter, Lads, it won't be there. Here's where we are today, the Intermediate Blue is done, and I've painted the insides of the aileron spots with the Green Zinc Cromate. Next will come the Dark Sea Blue.

Not to hi-jack my own thread, but do you Lads remember the balsa/tissue A6M2-N "Rufe" I was building in GB #2 ? I'm working on it once again. My question for you gents is, do I re-open the thread in GB #2 or just let it die on the vine. It's actually close to being finished !!

Re-open the thread, I'd say.

 

[Wurger]

Yep.. I echo the post above.

 

[meatloaf109]

I just had a look, and while the question is above my pay grade, it looks to be almost finished. It would make a fine "hanging buddy" to the Hellcat!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I agree with the others Charles, go with the old thread.

 

[ccheese]

OK... The Rufe thread in GB #2 is back open. I hope to finish it rather quickly.

Makes sense to have the finish stretch at the end of the progress thread.
Loookeeng goood mahn!

 

[Wayne Little]

Definitely looking good!

 

[ccheese]

Tomorrow we paint the Dark Sea Blue, the third of the tri-color, and the canopy.

[Wurger]

Looking good. But according to the profile you posted the boundary line between colours at sides was running a little bit different.

 

[A4K]

Agree with my Polish friend!

 

[Gnomey]

Coming along nicely Charles!

 

[Rogi]

Is Tomorrow, here yet? No

Ok I guess I could wait another day, looking really nice so far
