The red section is the 'No Step' warning panel Aaron. It's often included as a decal in most kits.

That would be nice.
The sad thing is, I had it all masked and ready to go. Was installing it on the plane and was going to paint it with the plane once I had the minimal filling done around the seams. I just applied the glue in the wrong fashion and messed it up.

Aaron, Try using Testors cement for clear plastic. Won't fog the plastic and it you mess up you can peal it off with no damage to the plastic.

Glenn, I used Model Master instant adhesive. Cures in 10-20 seconds, won't attack plastic and dries clear. My dumb ass just got way to much on the edges and it ran all over everywhere and yonder and it STICKS! I tried everything at my disposal to get it off to no avail. being that it was on the inside it made it that much more difficult. Next time, I put it on with a small tooth pick on the fuselage side and do it very carefully.

I have the primer all done and the masking is done. I couldn't figure out how I was going to keep the paint from the inside of the cowl flaps. But I had not installed the cowl and engine assembly yet so I have left it off and fitted it to do the masking and taped up the inside of the cowl from both ends. Now my paint lines will match up the the zinc chromate yellow will remain.I will get the OD green shot tomorrow and get some of the small stuff done to. And the U.S. Postal service has not set any records getting the canopy here yet Wayne, and thank you again sir for sending it. I am getting close. Not sure I will have it done by deadline but won't be far off.

I have been off for awhile trying to repair and find lost photos and relearn system. Having to do things differently since the loss of a lot of photos. But here is my progress. Hoping to be finished by deadline but going to push it. Mr. Little has sent another canopy assembly, just waiting for it to get here. The United States Postal Service ain't the quickest but we work with what we got. And thank you again Wayne for the the canopy. Once this dries I will spray the red and get the decals started. I have not permanently attached the engine assembly yet. It is just stuck in place. Easier to do the painting. Please feel free to critique.
