I have no idea if this is correct or not, but seems reasonable. If it 'looks' good it 'is' good . LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Bottom has been dolled up again, and is now back in Alclad. From what I can see, she's good to go for the topside colors now,... finally. LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 I completely forgot (several times) to paint the gear retraction mechanisms, so I've now dusted these with aluminum; awaiting clear coat and some washes. Gazzas and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 MLG doors given a very dark grey wash. KiwiZac, D.B. Andrus and LSP_Kevin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 One thing I forgot to add to the MLG doors, is the red/yellow/blue visual weight indicators. Hasegawa messed these up on the decals (wrong color order), so I''ll now be looking at other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 I touched up the cowl, but now the touch-up needs touching up. MikeMaben, D.B. Andrus and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Try to avoid getting trapped in an endless loop of touch-ups; we don't have the technology to bring you back from that dimension. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On some a/c only the red band was painted. When the red band reached the lower cover , the a/c was overweight. hth D.B. Andrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Windscreen now attached, as is cooling air scoop, and brushed with a little surfacer. This will obviously need more coats in certain areas. LSP_Kevin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
