Taping and chalking this weekend on the turret and gun tube. I think it looks like a big party tank with confetti at this point.
I'll be following the same process on the hull sides...eventually.

Good stuff. With all that yellow, maybe the RCAF are short of paint ....................

They wouldn't want my paint. The aircrew would pass out from the horrific fumes.
Good work!

Haven't posted in a few weeks so here's the latest. The black stripes are all down and I've put down the first colors of "spots" on the front glacias. Again keeping that "put on in the field" look so the rough edges and paint runs are intentionally as close to the original as far as I can make them. As usual the blue lights are messing up the true colors. The spots are really Olive drab but I can't properly color correct the pixs...

Here there be tigers! 
After 35 weekends putting a big check in the box. It has been a long ride but finished up at last. Did I love every minute of it ,except for the yellow paint fumes,...yes. Would I ever do it again...no. You may notice (I hope)I scuffed the final paint to simulate the crew going up and down the sides and turret top. Also, painted each section with the idea that all the crew pitched in and had their own paint style.The eagle eyed among you may spot the two easter eggs I put in. As far as I know this is now the only one painted up with the full body wrap. Anyone know differently let me know! The AHM was nice enough to write up a little posting as well.

If you're ever in the Boston area come on by to see kitty and all the other toys! Well worth the trip.
Part two to follow.

ok, technically not a tank but still... couple of nose art panels. Both pieces are a couple of wing skin panels off 909, before obviously. 909 just because I never got to paint it the first time. Mouse is going to be my 1/1 template for 17 being restored now. The panel is 68" X 35". Just one color down now for starters. I'll try to remember to update as I go along...
