JohnB Posted February 27, 2022 Author Posted February 27, 2022 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. 6
Kaireckstadt Posted February 27, 2022 Posted February 27, 2022 This looks great John! Which yellow did you use? From which supplier? I‘m curious how it will look like with the gloss yellow! 5

I‘m curious how it will look like with 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. 4
JohnB Posted February 27, 2022 Author Posted February 27, 2022 I decided to go on and paint the black control surfaces. I'll mask them off when I paint the gloss yellow. 7
Peterpools Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 John Nice decisions on both the flat and gloss yellows. Your creativity with paint and an air brush is exceptional. Keep ‘em comin Peter 3

JohnB Posted February 28, 2022 Author Posted February 28, 2022 Painting completed. Now just waiting for the decals which are supposed to deliver this Friday. Remember to click on the photo for best resolution. 7
BlrwestSiR Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 So in the time it takes me to glue a couple wing flaps together, you've almost finished yet another build. As always I'm impressed by your speed and quality of work John. Great idea to prime with the flat yellow. I've always found yellow to be one of these paints that seems to be translucent. Carl 4

Carl 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. 🙄 2
Peterpools Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 John The gloss yellow look so good. I'll have to give your te4chnique of gloss over flat a try. Keep 'em comin Peter 2
