The day was spent decaling, this plane had a lot of stencils that were nearly unreadable until i put them on the plane, so i was forced to use a magnifying glass to try and read if they were upside down or not! for some reason i could not get a good focus without the flash, these pictures show the correct blue color;
With the flash on, it looks too light but now the focus is correct!
I also touched up under the engine cowl.
I may give it a cote of semi gloss as its too shiney for an active fighter, but she looks damn good this way!
Not alot, i redid the plane is semi-gloss giving it a much more realistic look, and finished and attached the propellar.
Unfortunetly I had some storm damage from last week and my masks and the kit's canopy are lost, its floating somewhere in the long island sound i estimate.
So squadron canopy and masks ordered as replacements.
Looks very good Chris. Don't go by modern warbirds for how the real deal looked as these things are pampered to no end. Your semi gloss finish looks very convincing.
