Nice Start Kris!!I do not think my skillset will lead me down the road to a full rivet deal mine are for what I erased along the way.Lovely work!

Nice!I see you can paint within the lines very well!

She is coming home this afternoon glad I have a sister-in-law to help work is not about to let up methinks.

Well after eight days straight of work then yesterday the Wife had knee surgery 9th day I finally got some time at the table.The fuse is glued up no open panels I liked Jerry's rendition and it's less work.The two halves of the fuse have an ever so slight step from the wing root(WR) up maybe 1" no biggee .The wing is still not glued in place but the worst seam is the side you see now at the WR area I am thinking putty wipe with an alcohol swap and an 800grit scotch brite that is getting some wear.I have got to afix the front and rear parts of the pit research more on colors though.This one is going together easy peasy.

You're killing me Got one of these on order coming at the end of the month.I have become a big fan on ICM will be watching with interest.

Nice Hope mine comes out that good.

The wing is not glued in or is the tail section alittle more paint and the wing roots not to bad.

I started this project some time back and lost interest but it has arrived back on the bench with Avionix AM for the pit.I am going to do zero with the engine interest me none at all.Nothing is glued ATM but will be shortly.

Nice scheme John!

Copit/Underside.

Calling this one done.I was going to do the wash but did not care for the results so backed-off I think it was the issues with the gun earlier making the surface slightly grainy.

All is looking good Sir!I just did one of these some months back got another in the stash and Bomber County you need to get out more.

Last coat of clear has been applied tomorrow I start with acrylic panel wash. DocRob 18X50cals.

Decals have started over a coat urethane semi-gloss barely changed the color and only one area. one no flash other with.

Peter I have always used a fine tip on the Badger Renegade never had this issue before but I almost remember the event went sliding the needle back in after cleaning out the black lacquer paint the other night.

I am building mine back up my cave is about 500 sq.ft.

Show Time............took quite a few hours,turntable Roger Daltry,Doobie Brothers,Moody Blues about eight albums and I still going

Rob Not the tip Rob but the needle was ever so slightly bent.I took out a pair of un-serrated needle nose and worked then sanded from 240/400/600/800 worked like a champ @15psi with Semi-Matte Silver

Rob AlcladII Aluminum also same thing with DuraAluminum.The needle looks good but I do have a spare tip will check.thks Rob

I cleaned the air brush today and had the same results So started playing with the pressure was @21psi went down to 15psi starts good then you see dry paint in the air around the model in the lights.I increase pressure to 25psi seem to be a little better but still have the some of the same effect not as heavy.The temp in the shop was 65' humidity outside is 56% about normal around here.I have seen the black do this in stringers coming off the forks of the badger Renegade but it never makes it to the subject you clean the forks.I was told by a fellow member on another professional car painter temp and humidity if memory serves me right.The kit cleans up well enough to proceed I just wipe it down with a very soft cloth that came with the old SNJ powder kit.Some Pics......... Now to highlight some panels.

So far it has not been that good on the spraying of the silver I was getting streamers from the gun looked like dust on the plane.I went and polished down the whole plane tried a different bottle(old maybe) same results.I do remember when doing the black thinking time to clean the gun.So I only have a little more polishing to do the gun has been soaking since Saturday evening(working) will be back at it tomorrow.

John that is really Swweeettt!!

I think its time for Some "Shining" silver.

So here it is it does nothing for me but I really detest stain!!Now I can/will build another one this time in Sapele with tapered legs/inlays all the same dimensions and be 100% happier.My Wife likes the color and all only complaint was the rail design for the drawer which I already have a solution for that. PS: still got a couple of coats spar-urethane to apply semi-gloss and no the drawer is not crooked it's an illusion with contrasting grains methinks I checked another reason it's blah to me.

Stunning!!!
