Jim Barry Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Very nice, Dan. You are nailing it! It's not 70 degrees here, that's for sure. More like 4 but on the flip side we had a Christmas snowstorm with a foot of powder so it's exceptionally festive looking.

Dandiego Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) And a little more, I masked off the anti-glare panel and realized that some of my scribed detail was not centered. So a little putty ... Then I went about masking off the wheel wells and speed brake wells. And last I have added some of the basic decal markings. I know that I have strayed from the straight and narrow on the markings, But.....I want to represent a production/test bird.

r0t0rdr1ver Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Wow, she's looking great Dan, definitely one of my favourite subjects. I have to admit, I'm a little envious...much too ambitious for my skill level. The paintwork is VERY convincing. Keep up the great work!

Dandiego Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Small progress, Still working to get the anti-glare panel right. I have painted it twice and still am not happy. More putty and sanding to go. A little work behind the seat. Not much info on this area....so generic detail. And last for tonight a little creative gizmology on the area under the sliding portion of the canopy. Thanks, Dan Lee White, Jim Barry, MikeMaben and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
