Stuart you are right about that seam disappearing but I have not tossed the idea that I’m gonna pose the canopy open despite the French Impressionism of the cockpit! Check this out fellas—I’m getting a start on that funky End O War Paint Job;

Paint on! Looking good Bruce keep on chugging on this.

I am tracking Friday to button up the fuselage, at least. My photos are kind of crappy but the seat belts... I cut out the decals... the green, me no happy, so I repainted them. I think these are of a piece (sympatico) with the instrument panel and at least are now brown thanks to ancient Tamiya Deck Tan, I swear it must be from university, anyway it is as you see, nearly done. The photos are crap-tastic; my desk lamp burned out and the replacement bulb is just not as good.

The belts look the part to me.

Thanks, bud. The deck tan looks a little nutty brown but after a few hours of inhaling paint fumes I am probably well I am pretty baked. I get worried about posting progress photos on the group build pages but I think most of the participants are doing their own thing which is fine by me.

They're looking good Bruce - much better now you've painted them. Looking forward to seeing that Fuselage glued together!

[Handiabled]

Everything looks great from here Bruce! Hope things in Cali aren't too insane .......

[LyleW]

What they all said. I think the belts are spot on!

Excellent work Bruce. Great save on the seat harness color, way better than that green. And everything else looks to be coming along just fine. This,late war paint scheme should be interesting.
