When did I say I was using Krylon? Lotta no it alls here lately!!!!! ADIOS!!!!

I sprayed the yellow and it went bonkers, won't stick????? If I can't fix it I will start over or purchase another kit and start again, maybe Academy kit.

Back to my build and pertinent information. Blue color.

Nice video, see nose of this 2007 Blue Angels F/A-18A.

Nice build, same boo boo as me, the gun nose should be faired over, the Hasegawa 1/72 Blue Angels kit gives you that nose, I used the C nose with gun port open....oh well.

TS is lacquer spray, dries fast!

This works for me. I use to use Model Master Blue Angel Blue but that company is defunct.

Maybe Wednesday or so for paint. I need to do some fine sanding to get rid of some scratches and paint the wheel wells then mask.

The tail braces are finished. Getting close to paint time.

I have 3 stiffeners made for the left inner tail. The other side needs more putty as there was a gap. I also filled the holes in the bottom surface for non used pylons. https://i.postimg.cc/1zzYs4WW/blueangel-12.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/hG3Zjg6K/blueangel-13.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/x15FwLPJ/blueang...
