RLM 71 Dark Green splinter camo is on! Time consuming to mask for splinter camo but worth it in the end.

Change of plans…

PE Balloon Cable Cutter will be the last thing installed & painted.

Gloss clearcoat for decals

Flat clearcoat to seal it in then…

Looking great Tom. I imagine the cable cutter PE would be hard to work around once on so sounds like a good plan. I'm nervous for you though dude!
Thanks,
John
