Me too Stuart. I think it will come along okay now (fingers still crossed). And welcome to LSM!

[JohnB]

About done with the masking and painting. I might decide to do a little more but I really don't want to tempt fate!!! LOL

 

[BlrwestSiR]

Looks great and nice recovery.

Thank you Carl. I just wonder how it will look after decaling. Hopefully good! (This dam model is too friggin BIG! I keep hitting the lamps on my work table. Lucky that I haven't broken something. Fingers crossed.)

I had the same problem. Kept bumping into things with it. If you use the Master pitot, watch out you don't stab yourself. Ask me how I know.

LOL Carl! I think that will be the very last thing I attach. If I had put it in place it would have been broken off half a dozen times at least!

Looking mighty good and calling it quits and not tempting fate is the way to go.

I think I'll start with the decals next then add the gear, etc. Should go well (I hope).

[CANicoll]

Oh, that is frustrating!  Good luck with the fix.  I hate it when I do that...

Thanks Peter. That paint peeling "adventure" nearly got it put on the SOD! It looks like it's over the hump now so I plan to start decaling today.

[DocRob]

Good you saved the Starfighter John. With the new paintjob it looks marvelous with that shiny aluminum finish. Can't wait to see it fully decaled.

Cheers Rob

[GazzaS]

Nice save, John!

Decaling well underway. This is status right now but still more to do.
