Well that settles that. Thanks Floki!

One down, one to go. The CRT's have Tamiya Clear Green on them.

That’s lovely looking, Mike! Crisp and clean. And more colorful than what I’m used to in my own work. It’s beautiful! Keep it going buddy!

awesome looking pit.
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Wait, wait, hold it. You're worried about painting a seatbelt but you can make a cockpit look like that :wow:
