[Donivanp]

OWW They can't see me I'm so shinny...

Oh Gloss coat

Trying to get the fuel tanks right. Tamiya only offers the flat pan and the paper tanks in the Razorback kit but I pulled out an "M" kit and it has the 150 gallon metal tanks, so I pilfered them.

That is a very super gloss coat.

That's a nice coat of gloss Don.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far!

 

[Donivanp]

Command stripes, Well no decals for this SOOOO,,,,,
Took some Tamiya 3mm vinyl tape and wrapped a center section and then with the same tape wrapped the two outer bands. I used 5mm vinyl tape on the outer side band then masking tape. I unwrapped the two lines for the strips and shot the white, We'll see how it worked out.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

See you have used the Tamiya bendy tape, I kind of find this not so pliable and tend to use the really fine tape when turning corners or little kinks.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking forward tot the reveal.

 

[Donivanp]
