Update. I think Minicraft overshot on the weight needed, by maybe .2 ounces. I'll do a proper weight and balance when it's done.

All BMF, kit decals for the version that flew at Craig AFB, that will match the markings on my T-28A.

Some handles and canopy latches installed and a gloss blue undercoat applied.

John, my theory is that much of what we see when looking at reflective surfaces is the sky, which is blue on good days. I have done many of my nmf models this way. The other shoe to drop is that I have a lot of Olds Engine Blue that I have little other use for. By the way, I will be using some of those T-34 decals you sent me on this model.
