Stuart you are right about that seam disappearing but I have not tossed the idea that I’m gonna pose the canopy open despite the French Impressionism of the cockpit! Check this out fellas—I’m getting a start on that funky End O War Paint Job;

I am tracking Friday to button up the fuselage, at least. My photos are kind of crappy but the seat belts... I cut out the decals... the green, me no happy, so I repainted them. I think these are of a piece (sympatico) with the instrument panel and at least are now brown thanks to ancient Tamiya Deck Tan, I swear it must be from university, anyway it is as you see, nearly done. The photos are crap-tastic; my desk lamp burned out and the replacement bulb is just not as good.

The belts look the part to me.

Thanks, bud. The deck tan looks a little nutty brown but after a few hours of inhaling paint fumes I am probably well I am pretty baked. I get worried about posting progress photos on the group build pages but I think most of the participants are doing their own thing which is fine by me.

Excellent work Bruce. Great save on the seat harness color, way better than that green. :shoutout: And everything else looks to be coming along just fine. This,late war paint scheme should be interesting. :hmm:
