That is one beautiful finish, John.  Perfectly smooth, wow.  I've never used Xtracolor but am very impressed.

Sure is shiny isn't it Chris! Great paint.

Perfection - the underside paint went on perfectly. For a finish like that, waiting a day for it to dry is well worth it for sure. 🏆

Agreed Peter. I really like Xtracolor and use it as often as possible.

Top camo in place. Now I'll set it aside until it's good and dry then see about some decaling. Probably tomorrow or Friday. Meanwhile I'm doing another 1/48 Razorback Jug and plan to use Thundercals on it too.

Nice work on the cammo - looking fantastic. Another beauty in the making.

The CAMO came out okay, thanks. Tedious work.

[JohnB]

Just about done decaling. I'll do a little touchup then overspray with some clear flat. Then I'll get the exhausts done and a bit of weathering. Waiting on some resin 4-spoke wheels from Scale Hobbyist to show up hopefully in a day or two.

Holy Cow, your Spit look awesome – decals and markings are absolutely perfect and spot on the money.
