Nice camo. You are cranking them out, Tom!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Cool! Are you going to mask and paint the yellow leading edges and Sky ID band, or have you decals to use?BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 02, 2025 7:17 am Thank you for the kind words. Before turning g in for the night, I sprayed a coat of gloss clear in prep for decal session tonight.

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.

Screw the leading edge decals. What a PITA they are.

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
Nicely done Tom!
