Uncarina 4,139 Posted January 13 Mike, thanks! Hopefully the hardest parts are behind. I am still debating whether or not to paint those final tail markings. A gloss coat will slightly darken the painted red; we’ll see if it then matches the decal color. Cheers, Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncarina 4,139 Posted January 13 Thanks Lothar! ZM did most of the work with the kit design. I’m just glad my $20.00 airbrushes are holding up! Cheers, Tom 1 Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian, Good catch! During my creative exploration to get the cowling to fit over the left engine, I managed to shorten the piece that housed the shaft retainer ring. When I fitted the cowling over the right engine, I realized it didn’t make a difference! No worries, diversity is a good thing. :) Cheers, Tom 1 Out2gtcha reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncarina 4,139 Posted January 14 A bit more done today before I head back into work. I did some touchups, added the glosscoat, attached the main armament, and unmasked the canopy. Almost there!
