Nice recovery! Looking good, too.
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!"..

Thanks Lyle!!

Been goin' on with the cals for the last few days. Those #3's are giving me a little static but other than that everything else is working out. NOTE....Do NOT EVER buy decals from Peddinghouse. OMG they're bad. I only used the big 3's and the tail numbers out of the whole set. Just terrible in terms of out of scale lettering and walkway red dash sizes. It was like there was little to no research on them. For the rest of the decals I used the EagleCals set that I started out with on this one before I decided to build White 3.

Ya gotta be careful with that stuff Tom. Humidity plays hell on that stuff as it'll take forever to dry. I used Vallejo Gloss clear on this.

Duly noted. Most of my airbrush sessions are done in my cool basement.

No worries Joe - I've still got to get back to my Falcon at somepoint - I've been following it in the Aviation section anyway!
