A little progress report.
The tail was primed pink (mr Surfacer 1500 Pink) then painted red (Humbrol enamel 19). I masked the whole tail. The profile show a smaller portion but if I look at the picture of Pavlov’s crashed I-4 I see the whole tail red. Pictures before profiles.
After masking I primed black (mr Surfacer 1500 black). Next is going to be mr Hobby 208 duralumin.
