Nice camo. You are cranking them out, Tom!

Cool! Are you going to mask and paint the yellow leading edges and Sky ID band, or have you decals to use?

The Sky ID band will be decals. The yellow leading edge I haven't decided yet. It depends on how well the leading edge decals cooperates with me.

Yellow leading edge painted on. Good enough for me.

Gonna let it dry before decal session. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll start the decals.

Painted on is better than decals :wink: Nicely done Tom!
