Thanks Tom! I did that freehand with my airbrush. I think I remember drawing the curve line with a
faint pencil line and then spraying up to and
just over it. If I recall correctly, the biggest worry was trying to keep the curve symmetrical, and that I approached the process with a lot of trepidation!
Yeah, that is my biggest problem in trying to keep it evenly symmetrical to one another.

I’ll bet the guy in the paint shop with the air gun at General Dynamics had the same problem.

Or maybe there was one guy on each side… but one was taller with longer arms so his arcs were different…
