Bindi be with you my friend. Or should I have said, may the go do be with you. I have one of these but I'm scared of it. Guess I'm a coward and just want a new production.

Lots of misty coats under good lighting will get you there Geo. Take your time.

I know you are doing a Navy bird, but if you can check out pg 19.

Thanks guys. Haven't I always said never again with the light colors? Anyhoo...new printer and a test driver with the tail markings. I have to fine tune this as these are scale 6" and judging by the profile photo, they seem to be a bit smaller.

Looking good though.

Thanks Wojtek. Two coats on, a final one to follow on the top, then flip it over. It's the only way I can safely handle it.

Very surprised how fast this paint is drying, being an enamel. It's not even tacky after two hours.

Looks good Geo, glad it's going well.

Nice job Geo

I really like this subject and the paint looks great. Neat!

Thanks guys. Just have to touch up a few spots. It's recommended to wait less than 3hrs or more than 48hrs before re-coating so I'll finish tomorrow. In the mean time, I printed the decals. First a test drive. Then I cut out some decal paper, and put double sided tape to the back of it, placing this over the test drive to make sure it would line up for printing. The letters look a little blurry in the photo but won't be bad on the model.

It looks like the printer may have stalled out a bit, probably due to the double sheets. I'll let this dry over night (Testors recommends 2hrs), clear coat it and let that dry over night.

Yeah that'll look just fine on the kit.

Looks good enough to me Geo, and once in place, they should 'merge in' quite nicely.
BTW, do you get ice cream with that yellow finish .................

Lovely work so far Geo!

Definitely not a run-of-the-mill camo pattern! What kind of clear coat on the decal paper? That's one thing that I've been meaning to try.
