Should you need to do a do-over, it shouldn’t be too hard to mask off your camo color areas to cover the white crosses and start over.

This is a great idea, Tom! I am doing a kind of riff off of what you suggest by doing some wet sanding. I am gonna try to get a lighter “blue gray” base instead of the “green gray” I have been using.

Thank you, Clint. I’m gonna get this done, buddy.Floki wrote:Go with the drawlings that John posted on getting them landing gear lined up right. They will stick out a bit farther than you think is right at least it always looks that way to me. Yeah I would say them crosses are overscale they look like they haven't missed a meal before.

I am reposting this because I de-noised the image slightly as part of Beta Testing Adobe PS and I was happy with the results and I want to acknowledge at this point that I have learned so much from all of you, and continue to do so. I believe it is of the utmost importance to thank everyone here for really helping, and that continues to be the best part of the hobby for me—the modeling fellowship.

The foreground resolution is fabulous in this photo. The slats stand out plain as day. The wing tip section panel line is moderately visible. All other panel lines on that wing are nowhere to be seen... I wonder if they puttied these like they did with the 262s to get more speed out of them?
And that is looking damn good!
