IP looks good. Did you use vinyl tape on the threads? If not, do so. If you did, put a couple of extra turns on it so it bottoms out were you want it to.

Sledge works better.

Granted a sledge would certainly have an effect, but a sledge is the Emergency Adjustment Systems Instrument ( EASI ), and is for use in extreme cases, mainly with less delicate equipment.
We're talking precision equipment here, therefore there needs to be an element of finesse, with a more precise application, therefore the CPRT is recommended.

Spayed on Mr. Hobby Aqueous Interior Green H58 or Gunze as it used to be called. Still one of the best acrylics and this can be thinned with Tamiya, IPA or as I do, with distilled water. In real life the colour is a bit greener/yellower than shown below. The black undercoat kinda showed but I'm happy with the out come.
A bit of detailing will be done before I head back to camp tonight

Looking really good Geo. I recall there being some different colours needed for my bird but don't remember the specifics of what and why. I think there was a bronze green for the pilot's pit on mine driven by apparent differences between the manufacturers.

I believe you're right Andy. I was going by this...Camouflage & Markings: Interior Colours of US Aircraft, 1941-45 (Part III)

Not that they will be seen but I was searching for the colours of the float flares stored at the back of the aircraft
Apparently they had a dark wood laminate covering

Thanks Geo. I think that's the interior paint info I was going by as my rig is a TBF. Interesting find on the flares. I had a similar thing with my Dauntless as there is a "Float Light Rack" in the gunner's compartment. I'm thinking it's the same.
Good stuff Geo.
Nice work so far George!
