Thanks! It is for two different jets and not everything will be used.

They'll get used. And I'm not 100% sure what I want on them. There's also drop tanks to add.

I test fitted the pylons to make sure they fit where they're supposed to. I tried the Ammo of Mig Shaders and they're crap. I sprayed them exactly as instructed and they "spidered" on the model. I tried them on the test bed and ever tried a lower air pressure and they did the same thing. I'll use panel liners to shade the top sides. Both were unmasked and it seems I'll need to touch up the black areas.

I also stripped the drop tanks to repaint them. The exhaust nozzles also got painted and I like the way they came out.

Ok I have a question. I need to touch up some spots on the black but I don't want to have to respray all of the black. Any ideas to keep from having to do that?

Depending on what you need to touch up maybe a sharpie would work?

Shapries stand out as shiny and cal bleed through paint.
