Since I'll be waiting for the Quinta set to proceed I'll go back to the Sherman. It's well along so shouldn't take too long to finish, depending on weathering, etc.
I'm torn between building this as a Air Force one or a Navy one. The kit has both options. If I decide on a Navy a/c it will be Gull Gray and White but I haven't decided for sure just yet. And I'm still waiting for the Quinta cockpit set to show up (thanks to the USPO snail service).
Thanks Carl. I have a template that works well also but, since I've already sprayed the centers I'll have to just brush paint the rubber areas. Not a big deal.
Thanks Gaz! This thing sure takes a lot of painting! Next I'll have to contend with painting the rubber on the wheels. ðĪŠ
Thanks Kai! Airbrushing this thing has it's "moments"! ð
I decided on the -4 since it differs from the -3 a bit (scoop on cowling, etc.). Ordered one plus a TBM-3 from Scale Hobbyist since they have some good prices (but slow delivery which I can live with).
