Exhausts look much better when they are drilled out! Can't wait to see the paint fly!

Wow, I didn’t realize it had been so long since I had updated this thread.

Last week I primed up the surface in preparation for painting with Vallejo Model Air.

De to the hard edge camouflage used on Hawk 81’s I had to paint the colors in stages, let the color dry, then mask before adding the next color. Today in finished up the base colors

I’m going to need to go back and enlarge the green in a few areas, but overall, not too bad.
