Nice build, same boo boo as me, the gun nose should be faired over, the Hasegawa 1/72 Blue Angels kit gives you that nose, I used the C nose with gun port open....oh well.

Notice gun fairing covers…

This is the newer Dreams video featuring the Blue Angels. It never gets old - this one or the ‘86 version.

For those that haven't heard, in mid May, there's a Blue Angels movie that's coming out and only in IMAX!

Krylon.... :bored: Garbage paint. But hey... whatever works for you. Testors Model Master used to carry that color. Such a shame Rustoleum discontinued the whole Model Master color line.

I sprayed the yellow and it went bonkers, won't stick????? If I can't fix it I will start over or purchase another kit and start again, maybe Academy kit.
