Thanks guys. Spritzed Vallejo 77.706 White aluminum on the moving surfaces and the bottom. Hard to see in real life so I'll try to get a photo after it dries. Once dry, I'll gloss coat to prevent scratches

Picture taken, not very showy but it did show me one thing that I noticed in my editor. Flaps showed different reflections which means one is out of whack. Sho nuff, I went down and the left was about 2mm higher so some gentle persuasion corrected this. Battery died while correcting so you get the before....

A little lesson I learned while spraying the Vallejo. If you previously used IPA to clean and flush Tamiya out of the AB, make sure you thoroughly flush all the IPA out. Vallejo really, really, really hates IPA

Great looking build, and one on my list as well. Along with Martin Kyburz on FB, and photos I found in the "Bob Hoover" collection in the San Diego Air Museum Archive...we can get a better idea of how this looked. Of interest is the "overnight" bag behind the armor plate. The photo of 025 was traced by Martin and it's final fate in Korea.
