Totally agree with you Andy. Mine is far from perfect but better than nothing

Shot Vallejo Metal Color 77.717 Dull Aluminum. I'll let this set up and when I get home next week I'll shoot the moving surfaces with 77.706 White Aluminum

Looks good George.

Indeed it does.

Like the dull aluminum. Planning on gloss final coat or semi?

 

[fubar57]

All the pics I see show a dull finish Ralph. I'll post one shortly

A finish in matt or dull would be an eye catcher; at least in my collection of mostly all semi's

Nice work so far George!

10 days later with more fear of painting. 45 minutes of masking, two minutes of spraying, 15 minutes of cleaning. I used Tamiya Olive Drab for the anti-glare panel. Seriously, What's the point of that little flourish under the canopy?. This is where I spent most of my masking time

​

Gloss coat and then decals tomorrow. The sheet includes the stars and bar so I'll do those first and if things go sideways, I've got tons of spares. I'll then over-coat the rest of the decals but so far, on three other models they've worked well

Looks great George.

Looking good

 

[Crimea_River]

Nice. I suspect some pilot's still got some glare from the area where the little curl is painted

Good work so far George!
