Got the rear masked for the second metal color. Also worked on the stores. The Sidewinder rails attachment to the pylon don't look right to me.

They give you three different fuses for the front of the bomb. Trying to figure out which one to use.

Beautiful. I have no idea how to help ya choose a bomb fuse that is appropriate, though. How do intend to paint the yellow tail fin? I think that would be a tough color to cover black primer. Is the yellow tail fin a full decal? All the best.

:hmm:

No I have to paint the tail yellow. I didn't think about that. :hmm: Hell, not sure I even have the right yellow.

I’d suggest standard Insignia Yellow or Chrome Yellow for the tail base color.

The decal instructions say Chrome Yellow. Now to find some.

Good luck! I painted the exhausts in black primer on the Vigilante based on your results. Excited to weather those parts.
