That is a nice colour Mick!!

Love the color too Mick!!! Sprayed smooth as silk. I guess you have to be real careful handling it now because of all those tiny sticking out thingys.......

Thanks Allen fortunately the static dampers are metal pins recessed into the fin so quite sturdy

Started top coating the big bird, but got too cold in the garage, right at the end the airbrush decided to spray a shower of dots over the paint job. Something to sort tomorrow when I can feel my fingers again.

Shower of dots you say, weathering/modulation we say...........

Thanks Karl, if it didn’t look like a bad rash I’d go with that

Finally got my posh new AB out, no point having it if it’s not getting used. I’ve covered up the dots with new marbling so will re do the dark grey tomorrow if all goes well

Finally sorted the paint but it was too dark to take a decent pic so I’ve made a start on the tail fin. 14 decals per side the white lettering all have separate shading decals so I’ll do those tomorrow when everything has set nice and dry. Not 100% happy but it’s getting there. Wonder why they have a weird W at the start of Wisconsin, makes it look like I bodged the decal

Looking good Mick. Certainly will bring that bird to life…..

[Allen Dewire]

Love the decals Mick!!! I used to know why the W was different, but I forget...Old age I guess!!! Is it the angle of the pic or did you flatten the tiny sticky out thingy fin behind the 278. It looks kinda squashed down Buddy...
