Your getting this done Lyle! I'll trade for your recipe for ice for my recipe for tap water!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Paint is going on! Nice progress, Lyle! Exhausts are also pretty easy to do with an airbrush. On a dark blue aircraft, exhaust stains can appear lighter than the blue. If that's the case with the Avenger, start with a highly thinned light grey and mist the furthest reaches of the exhaust staining. Gradually darken your color and work in smaller, shorter concentric areas until you are misting a dark black/brown in a short thin line along the exhaust path.

John, sincere thanks! I'll get the airbrush limbered up. I need to practice!

All great advice for exhaust staining. Brilliant ideas there.
I also cook and bake. I enjoy it a lot, but I enjoy it more when I'm cooking for others.
Okay, Lyle, now that you have some awesome cooking and exhaust recipes, let's get going here!

Mark, I’m practicing social distancing.. letting the primer sit until tomorrow. I’ll give it a rub down with 0000 steel wool and squirt on some blue.

Lyle, are you doing the overall sea blue scheme, the ASW White & Gray scheme, or the Sea Blue/Intermediate Blue/White scheme?

Overall sea blue. I don’t want to mask.
