Thank you Phil. I hope to have it finished later today. Stay tuned! LOL
-
Thanks Troy. Decaling is complete so now I'm attaching the landing gear, etc. Should be done later today! 😀
-
Got the decals today so it won't be long before it's finished.
-
Making a little progress on the -26 racer. Pics later.

Thanks you! I'm glad you like the results of my efforts. -
Thanks Peter. As you can tell I like to stay busy.

Started on my next build which is the 1/48 ICM A-26B. This will be another racer build and should really be a eye pleaser. Good for the Group Build.

Thanks Kai! It certainly will stand out in the crowd!
-
Nice and glossy Gaz! The decals should lay down nicely then I'll overspray with semi-gloss.
-
Easy peasy Peter. It just takes a lot of paint! LOL (I used up all my gloss yellow!)
-
Thank you Peter. It works with all of the lighter colors, white, light gray, etc.
-
Thanks Carl. I agree, yellow can be a problem. As it is I had to apply 2 coats of flat and 3 of gloss to get satisfactory coverage. 🙄
-
Painting completed. Now just waiting for the decals which are supposed to deliver this Friday. Remember to click on the photo for best resolution.
-
Thanks Peter. Just many years of experience.
-
I decided to go on and paint the black control surfaces. I'll mask them off when I paint the gloss yellow.
-
Thanks Kai. It's just Testor's flat yellow from their little .25 oz bottle. Same with the gloss yellow. I figure using flat yellow for a primer/base coat would work well.
-
All primed with flat yellow and about ready for the gloss yellow. I don't have the decals in hand yet but should be ready for them when they show up.
-
Good looking 262 build Jerry. Nice work!
-
It's coming along well Gaz and I hope to have it paint ready in a couple of days.
-
Thanks Peter. Luckily the plug fit okay and didn't take a whole lot of work. Although the wing roots have tons of putty they are smoothing out well. I hope to get the canopy, ailerons, rudder and elevators attached soon.
-
Coming right along. I still have a lot to do before I can hit it with some primer overall.
-
Progress made. Fuselage plug installed, sanded and primed. Wings attached and puttied.
-
Thanks Troy. With racers we don't have to stick with "cookie cutter" color schemes and markings. It's nice to have something a bit different to build.
-
Thanks Peter. A pretty unusual setup I must say. LOL
-
LOL Carl. Thanks!
