Folks finally back to give a bit of an update. First up is to let you know that this has actually progressed quite a bit. This will show you the first few stages of the painting. First was a Flat Black overall coat then into the color. Model Master Neutral Color was first on the lower sections. On to the upper, Model Master #8 Olive Drab was the color of choice and the first session saw it mixed with Model Master Flat White. Eyeballed to the shade I hoped to portray and then sprayed within the panel lines. Careful but not too worried about overspray. I did not want to have the quilt look. Several sessions followed with more and more of the Olive Drab added until I got to a place where I was somewhat happy. Several pictures for you.         There will be another quick update soon to show the remainder of the paint sessions. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Many many thanks. Ok second part. After several sessions I was not particularly thrilled with the look and went back and carefully sprayed some Testors Olive Drab from the square bottle to give it a bit of warmth. A couple of things I am pretty happy with. The appearance of staining and panel paint fading.         Alrighty then, she is pretty much ready to decal up. All comments, critiques, and criticism are encouraged. Joe |

Not sure what the deal is. I posted this in twelve different places and this is the only one that this happened.
Interesting.

I went back. It is only the updates that I posted today on the P-40 and the B-18. The other pictures I posted resized just fine.
