Laid down the primer topside & gear doors. Will hit the underside later tonight... hopefully. Once that’s all done, it won’t be long before the proper greys are on.

Underside painted!!




Wings painted (partial)

The paint is looking good so far

Looking very good Tom !

Getting there....

Thanks guys. Yeah, it’s getting there but it’s on hold until I order more Gunze #332 Light Aircraft Grey. I ran out and may not have enough to repaint the underside wingtip section since tape pulled off the paint.
Never again I will use Testors grey primer since I found out it’s acrylic, not enamel primer. That’s all right by me since I ran out of it anyhow.

Last night, just discovered I had an extra bottle of Gunze Light Aircraft grey in my stash. How did I know? I create an inventory list of each paint brand and how many of what I have. I usually make a spreadsheet of ALL the colors that particular paint brand has on the market.

I plan on getting a couple new bottles anyway to have on hand. I really need to create a Humbrol chart too. Carlos swears by them and I do have a couple tins of their colors.

Repaired the spots where the paint lifted from the yellow frog tape. Good as new!
Tonight, a shot of gloss clearcoat before leaving on family vacation to Cape Ann tomorrow. Long enough time for it to cure before final assembly and decals.

Glad you got that sorted out Tom. Hope you enjoy your vacation potna!! That sounds great!!

An inventory list is a smart thing when the stock is getting unmanageable. I've started an excel list some years ago but I really need to update it.
