Nice work Aaron, it's progressing well. Looking forward to seeing more. Hope to be doing a 'Razorback' myself in the not too distant future.

Great work mate! Likewise I'm taking notes for when I fix up a Frog Razorback from a mate's attic collection...

Thank you Bill, I don't think it matches your Corsair, but eventually I'll get there.

Really looking good Aaron. What color and brand is that yellow chromate? I ask because I found ( quite by accident ) Testors Yellow Zinc Chromate in the 1/4 oz. square bottle at my local craft store and I'm wondering if that is what I see behind the fuselage.

That's what I found to Bruce, and by accident. It's just listed as Chromate yellow though.

That is so cool. It looks to be the perfect shade of yellow chromate. Why the hell can't Testors put it in their Model Master range, and in a 1/2 oz. bottle? The conventional wisdom always seemed to be that nobody produced this color.

Who knows? I got two bottles just in case they quit making it. I may take one to the paint store and get them to color match it for the heck of it.
