Thanks very much guys, my most ambitious oddball job to date. Most of the touch ups are complete but my week is done. Have a good week, back Wednesday morning.

Fantastic paint scheme and your way of executing it is very inspiring! The P-39 is slowly growing on me...

 

[Wayne Little]

Well done George, I'll trade you your paint scheme for mine!

 

[fubar57]

Thanks guys. Not much done today, still in night shift mode. Glued the door windows in. They are beveled and fit very well, much to my relief. I just set them in place and flooded the area, window and all with puzzle glue. Still some minor touch ups to do, coat with future and apply the sparse decals. I'll have to go through my spares and find some 8" tail numbers or purchase some.

Excellent! My decal files are in a but of a disarray at the moment so you save me some time.

 

[fubar57]

Thanks gents, the decals begin. Just the four stars from the decal sheet will be used, the various numbers will be placed individually. Two of the stars are a pain in the keester as the white markings were painted over them.

A bit of blue touch up required but it's close.
