Should you need to do a do-over, it shouldn’t be too hard to mask off your camo color areas to cover the white crosses and start over.

This is a great idea, Tom! I am doing a kind of riff off of what you suggest by doing some wet sanding. I am gonna try to get a lighter “blue gray” base instead of the “green gray” I have been using.

Thank you, Clint. I’m gonna get this done, buddy.

Great progress on that Bruce!

Sorry to see that with the crosses but Tom does have a good idea going though. Looking forward to the recovery Bruce!!!

No worries, Joe. Thank you for being supportive! This really means a lot to me.

Stuart! Thank you sincerely for being so supportive. You and everyone here have been so kind and generous with your advice and comments. I truly appreciate every word.

I am reposting this because I de-noised the image slightly as part of Beta Testing Adobe PS and I was happy with the results and I want to acknowledge at this point that I have learned so much from all of you, and continue to do so. I believe it is of the utmost importance to thank everyone here for really helping, and that continues to be the best part of the hobby for me—the modeling fellowship.

The foreground resolution is fabulous in this photo. The slats stand out plain as day. The wing tip section panel line is moderately visible. All other panel lines on that wing are nowhere to be seen... I wonder if they puttied these like they did with the 262s to get more speed out of them?
