A bit more sanding and buffing left and she will be ready for paint. I used thin brass pipe for the guns. I also converted it to a P-38 J. I special ordered decals for it and she will be the Virginia Marie.




 
Nicely done, should look the biz when finished. The pic is slow loading though (1.25 MB), which slows down the forum. It would be better to re-size before uploading direct to the forum, max size 800 x 600 pixels.
 
Thanks guys, I HATE metallic paint. I had to paint this backwards. Blue, white outlines, then the metallic. A whole lot of masking. During the first coat of aluminum, a disaster happened involving a lid to the airbrush that did not fit the jar. The paint dropped a nice puddle right on the damn wing.

Sp I had to strip the area, sand where the paint dropped and start over. The problem was fixed.
 
She sure is looking sweet I built the Hase verison of VMarie awhile back nice crate colors.
