Paint. I sprayed a base coat using Mr. Color C58 Orange Yellow since it was a spot on match to the decal. Then I masked off the stripe before painting it flat red.

Well it looks good for sure. Most of those 357th P-51s had pretty sloppy looking spinners--another reason I do not like reference photos

Decal session has begun. Fuselage and propeller blades decals are done. Fuselage stencils and wings decals will resume tonight.

Clearcoat is on. Now to finish it off in a couple hours.

Done! You know where to find her...
