That is excellent Lyle! That speaks volumes for a company's customer service when they provide that kind of service in this environment. Your silver coat looks sensational! I can only pray my silver comes out that smooth. Way to go Lyle!

Looking forward to seeing more.

Duke, my thoughts exactly. I did not expect to hear from the for a while.

As for the paint? I sprayed a primer coat of the Duplicolor gray, rubbed it down with 0000 steel wool before applying color. That may have helped. The first coat was Tamiya Flat Aluminum from the air brush. I was running low, so I switched to the rattle can.

I can't get over the SIZE of this model!!!

Damn.....you must have one helluva display area Lyle!!! Silver coat looks good on her.

Hey, Joe! It is (1/200) about the same as the C-54 (1/72). I have no official display area, since no one sees these but me. It will go on the table out in the basement or something. I guess. I am pleased with the paint.. To me, it looks as it should. . . if that makes any sense.

Yeah it does make sense. We've got an eye for that kind of stuff you know.

Looks great! Big model even at that scale!

Thanks, John. Glad you are safely home! It was great to follow your trip on FB.

Hey Lyle I finally got caught up on this build! It’s looking close to the finish line, Do you have a spot to put this big bird once your done? Space has finally become an issue for me as of late..

It will be in GenPop with the rest of the convicts! I don't have a spot set aside. It is getting close. Trying to mask an paint the canopy frames this morning. Waiting on props and clear decal paper...

How about in the bath tub?
