Re: British phantom FGR.2 "Firebirds"
Laid down the primer topside & gear doors. Will hit the underside later tonight... hopefully. Once that’s all done, it won’t be long before the proper greys are on.

The paint is looking good so far

Re: British phantom FGR.2 "Firebirds"
Thanks guys. Yeah, it’s getting there but it’s on hold until I order more Gunze #332 Light Aircraft Grey. I ran out and may not have enough to repaint the underside wingtip section since tape pulled off the paint. 
Never again I will use Testors grey primer since I found out it’s acrylic, not enamel primer. That’s all right by me since I ran out of it anyhow.

Re: British phantom FGR.2 "Firebirds"
Last night, just discovered I had an extra bottle of Gunze Light Aircraft grey in my stash. How did I know? I create an inventory list of each paint brand and how many of what I have. I usually make a spreadsheet of ALL the colors that particular paint brand has on the market.
I plan on getting a couple new bottles anyway to have on hand. I really need to create a Humbrol chart too. Carlos swears by them and I do have a couple tins of their colors.

Re: British phantom FGR.2 "Firebirds"
Repaired the spots where the paint lifted from the yellow frog tape. Good as new! 
Tonight, a shot of gloss clearcoat before leaving on family vacation to Cape Ann tomorrow. Long enough time for it to cure before final assembly and decals.

Re: British phantom FGR.2 "Firebirds"
Glad you got that sorted out Tom. Hope you enjoy your vacation potna!! That sounds great!!
Re: British phantom FGR.2 "Firebirds"
An inventory list is a smart thing when the stock is getting unmanageable. I've started an excel list some years ago but I really need to update it.
