Ah yes, Tamiyawagram pre mottled paint, that stuff is the bees knees.

Yes, the arm does create drag but it fits in the space-Nazi-from-the-dark-side-of -the-moon theme. You have got to pick up those satillites with something.

I'm glad you are on my wave length. So many of "them" are not. I also have a bottle of striped paint.

No progress to report, I have been preoccupied with several other (work related) issues. The first coat of grey is a bit "grainy" so it wil need some sanding and a second layers. Then masking and green for a wrap around splinter camoflage scheme.

Then RETIRE...like me!

Well, it looks like I will be without a job from july the 1st.... but my 410k plan is not ready. 35 is a bit early for retirement.....

Sorry to hear that, Borg. I'm going out August 1st. Hope you find something, soon.

Thanks! Fortunatly I am getting a couple of months worth from my (soon to be) ex-employer. And the Dutch welfare system is quit reasonable so I am getting some money from that. No need to put up the house for sale just yet.

Progress! Masking for the wrap around splinter camo. It is going to be green on grey.

Without the masking:








There is some build up of paint on some of the edges so I will sand that away. I use very little wash, only on the ailerons. Then decals, no swastika's because of backstory. I will keep that a secret until the build is finished.

OOoohhh looking good borg.
