We all have these little "Oh sh*t, that should have" moments. Glad you managed to get over it and that pits a real treat, nicely done.

Thanks Geo, Vic and Andy as to the seat being off I saw the culprit most likely SH had you install the window crank at the back and it's pushing the seat some so tomorrow pull the tub and remove the crank to it's correct position.I have the Eduard kit and looked there already realizing the what the answer would be just for confirmation it goes all the way to the front of the rail.

The stripes have been laid it seems I am progressing more and more to a splotchy pattern with my paint.The white was laid down uneven 2.8" using 18" stripes which was roughly 9/16" in width the last white stripe in the middle had to eyeballed to be even usually 1/32" was missing.I painted the black first with falt black splotchy again and then came back with a Nato black to fill in here and there but never completely.I had the minimum of clean-up in the end.

This is going slower than expected but I bit the bullet and did a weathering just sloshed the Tamy Brown and let it sit overnight.I think it will pass some areas on the side of the fuse R/side the future was thin and ate through in the sense the more I wiped the stickier it got and went "gotta fix that".I used a sponge and tweezers litely dipped in the respective color and all worked out just did not want brush marks.I usually go semi-gloss but seeing she's been a workhorse since D-day went dead flat.I am about to gloss black the LG and do the silver.I still at best guess another week of work on this one little stuff bombs and canopy and weathering the WW always more.She's not the best as far as weathering but I seldom attempt this part out of fear I dove.
