I'm kinda afraid to. It looks too secure on there.

All of the landing gear and doors are on (they have been for a week) and the pitot tube is attached. More touch ups to do and I still have to paint the Sidewinder pylons (I forgot them).

Finally got the pylons, drop tank, and engine painted. Still need to figure out how to paint the black areas on the engine nozzle petals. Any ideas?

I had pre-painted the pylons and drop tank with black so I used what was left in the airbrush to paint the areas on the Super Hornets that had been worked on. Still a little left to do.

Also did the same to the Global Hawk.

Well I did it!! A tip from a friend told me to use a wash and so I did. I used AK Interactive's Landing Gear Wash and "painted" the inside parts of the petals and I LOVE IT!!! Came out great I think!
