Not dusty Wojtek and the clear seems to leveled it off some it's all about how the light hits it looks great under the light but from angles wonkie.
 
I am thinking it will work good in the end lots of decals let the future dry good enough with abit laid down might be able to use the Tamy wash this time used magnesium on the gun ports tried stainless looked frigg'in blue almost.

Okay She is finally starting to look like an F-86 This build has just about been a PIA as far as repainting goes though.I started applying the yellow band decals did the fuse first was on to the one wing when I noticed the fuse band was to far back arrgh!!So I pulled up the wing not dry yet but the fuse............will out came the tape and in the process broke off the Tailplanes OK not one cuss word I promise but their was some breathing happening in the long run made doing the decals around the tail easier without them there.I guess you have figured by now the bands are painted paint one paint all actually looks better but when does it not!The instructions from Kinectic have a bit to be desired on decals so anyone who builds this pay close attention the the fuse band it about touches the wing root. and notice the design of the bottom decal says alot.I think she will look OK when finished trust me I am ready for that word "Finished"...........two with flash two w/o.

Despite all the issues you faced it's still a great looking model. When I get around to building my own F-86 I can only hope it turns out as nicely. Well done so far!!

Yeah Grant I just could not throw in the towel on this one.The Avionics kit was not cheap coming from England back to the US it will look the part when done.
 
I have to say this build was a pig paint wise and through the last little final assembly steps.The paint here in NMF is by far not my best I could almost throw it out but I do not have a Korean Crate in the cabinet.
