No, not secret. Just nothing much gets done during the week. Don't feel like messing with it when we get home. My three little buddies need some play time

The Hellcat is fine, thank you! :D Sitting just off to the left watching all the proceedings.

Promise there will be some updates tomorrow.

On the gear.

This is embarrassing....I think the paint was thinned out too much and not sure about the pressure, either. This was with the Iwata HP-CS.

After spraying the Hellblau (RLM 65). Came out quite glossy..guess I didn't buy flat when I got it.

The glossy finish is a benefit when it's time for decaling. It can save you an extra layer of clear varnish.
And don't worry too much about the pre shading. In the end you won`t see much of it anyway. Maybe in some areas you can cut the lines again with the basic colour.

Just go ahead, Lyle. You're on your way.
