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!

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