Peterpools Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 John I sure seems as if it took a lot more cutting and fitting then you should have had to do but in the end, you worked your magic and the office looks mighty good in the fuselage . Keep 'em comin Peter

Keep 'em comin Peter Yes it did Peter. Aires ought to put some effort into molding their parts for some semblance of FIT. 1
JohnB Posted May 4, 2022 Author Posted May 4, 2022 All primed with flat white and ready for some paint! 7
Peterpools Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 John Completely agree as it's one thing to offer a detail AM part but quite another to offer a part that has both the detail and some resemblance of fitting. Awesome progress and she does look good in her white primer. Looking forward to seeing the color coats on. Keep 'em comin Peter 1

Since I posted that photo I've added the Willow Green wing and fuselage stripes, the anti glare panel on the nose, and the black exhaust areas on the sides of the fuselage. I think I'll let it sit over night to be sure all that is dry, etc and then start masking off those areas in readiness for the overall yellow. 2
KevinM Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 I am liking it John esp. the add-on to the rear seat that is cool!I have lived in Biloxi for the most all my life and I remember watching these planes as a young boy(60s) take off/land all day at KAFB.MY Dad was a CS Instructor out at KAFB and they had a park/recreation area across from the flight line just sit and watch. 3

I'm glad you are liking it Kevin. I'm sure it had to be a lot of fun to watch 'em come and go. (When I'm done with this "B" I intend to do a red/white "C".) 2

JohnB Posted May 5, 2022 Author Posted May 5, 2022 Got all the masking in place so now I'll re-spray flat white base over the black and green overspray areas in preparation for the 1st coat of gloss yellow. 5

Keep 'em comin Peter Thanks Peter. I had to do a mix to get the right shade of orange yellow. Testor's Yellow right out of the bottle is too light so I added a bit of red to get the shade I wanted. Looks about right to me. 2

Peterpools Posted May 8, 2022 Posted May 8, 2022 John The yellow looks spot on . Years ago the best "Yellow" and dead accurate was by Pactra and unfortunately; long gone. Keep ' em comin Peter 1

Just plain Testor's "yellow" for this a/c is too light so a little drop or two of red mixed in works well. 2
