Thanks TJ. Topside will be done this afternoon and set aside to dry. I won't be able to get any photos until Sunday as I have a dad tasking for the next couple of days...

Well, I spoke too soon... I was able to get a photo of the topside Gloss Midnight Blue after today's airbrush session...
now everything gets to sit and dry until the next planned session on Monday...

Back home today and able to do another bench session. I airbrushed on the yellow trim areas and the steel area ahead of the afterburners
Tomorrow I have to do a bit of tape residue clean up, and then it’s decal time!

What yellow are you using? Chrome Yellow or Blue Angels Yellow?

Wow, that is looking good Stik. Painting yellow is not EZ either but you have very good opacity there!

Thanks guys!
TJ, it is very shiny.
Chris, you are quite right about Yellow. What I’m finding for what works better with yellow paint is less thinner. Most yellow paints that I’ve used, in all brands and mediums, are kind of thin to start with. Maybe it’s the pigments themselves, I don’t know.
