In that case, ignore what I said :smiling3: I thought you’d glued it together like that.

It’s all good I know you’re quick on the draw thanks for stopping by

Got some painting done tonight. I first primered it with a flat chalk black to achieve the darkest blue as possible and to get a shade affect also. I will let this cure very well before I paint the lower silver camouflage.

Coming along nicely :smiling3:.

Hi Lee
That paint job is excellent. Looks as if the masking was spot on.
Jim

[Lee Drennen]

Jim. Thanks I can’t believe the masking went that good. Thanks for the complement

Rick. Thanks it means a lot from you guys to keep me going with your complements

[Lee Drennen]

Worked some more on the bird this morning. Painted the inside and cockpit interior green I might have over killed on the inside of the fuselage but I want to make sure when you peep in any place of this craft you’re not gonna see any overspray places. I also detailed the cockpit and picked out the details on side of the fuselage enjoy the pics

[Lee Drennen]

Rick. Thanks great complement! What a fun build taking me back to my child hood building all these Aircraft that’s how I got started building models was these guys

Alan thanks for the complement and what are you waiting for go for it I would like to see it I’m sure it would be awesome

[Jim R]

Hi Lee
Cockpit and engine looking good. I doubt much of the engine will be seen when the cowling and the prop go on.

Still waiting to get some funds to buy a P-38 for the Group Build. That one will be done in NMF if i can get the right one. But a P-47 (and P-51D) is on my 'to do' list
