It does look like you've got a very nice base coat to work with Lyle. I feel the same way about panel line rescribing. I mean....I'm okay at it but I try to set things up in such a fashion that I can avoid it if at all possible.

It will take a bit of “hmmmmm’em” and ponder in’, that’s for sure.

Struggling with getting the windscreen masked. The Eduard masks just don’t work. The eyebrow windows look too small and the front panel are as well. I have a set that isn’t Eduard and they are a bit better, but...

I was able to peel the “frame” from that sheet and have scanned it, so I can make what I need.

Do any of you mugs have the dimensions of the forward cabin door and the cargo door(s)?

Thank you, Stuart.

Joe, tiny bit of moving, forward, sideways, cattywhompus...you name it. This is slowly sapping my energy to get it done, trying to get the canopy masked and have it look right.
