Finally got to do some work on the Tomcat, today. Got the ailerons painted Flat White, the anti-glare panel painted Flat Black, painted the flak damaged area with the Light Ghost Gray and a little touch up here and there. Also painted the already masked canopy. Pretty soon it will be decals and gloss coat !

Pic's in the morning....

Been trying to clean up my greenhouse most of the day, and get my geraniums cleaned and pruned and put away for the winter.

Here's the promised pic. Still working on the anti-glare panel. BTW, from this angle you can see the warp in the starboard rudder. And, yes, that's a hole in the tissue, just forward of the starboard aileron.

Been working on the Tomcat, to make it look like a VF-84 bird. Got the leading edges of the rudders painted. Will remove the tape in about an hour or so. After the Light Ghost Gray cures, will paint the yellow tips on the rudders. New canopy in the mail. Pic's later today. Her's what the rudders will look like..

Charles,

I have noticed that these ailerons painted white were a little bit larger than yours. ALso it seems that the elevators had the grey leading edges. Please have a look at the pic below....




Images of other Tomcats of the VF-84 from that period of time , seem to affirm it.
