Thanks all!   This finally feels like Im coming out of the worst of it. A  coat of Tamiya dark grey panel liner on the newly painted sections, then let that dry, and on to some filters and chipping. Then tonight I will forge on with the upper matt coat, and hopefully that will blend things in well enough that when the masking is removed I don't have TOO much work left to do.

 

Cheers!

Thanks guys!
The repair work is fully complete now. Washes, filters, clear ect, all added and I did my best to blend things together. Fortunately THIS time around on the clear parts reveal, things went much more to my satisfaction. The clear parts only needing a few swipes with a cotton bud and some mineral spirits to get rid of excess wash, then a quick polish up with NOVA polish and some NOVA cleaning agent.

Back in a min with pics...............

Overall, Im very pleased with how its coming out, and the fix seemed to not do much to dampen my spirits on it overall after I got over the shock of it happening in the 11th hour. 

Now there is just a VERY short list of things to do to finish the entire model:

 

- Antenna

- Install rear gun (already made and painted just no pics)

- Install nose guns

- Install oblique canon 

- Install pitot tube

 

That's it! 

Ill be working on the antenna tonight, as Ive got part of it finished but need to finish the rest up tonight and I can install the guns and pitot tube and Im finished.

The next time you see here, she'll be done!

 

Cheers all!
