That looks like salt to me. It was hard to tell from the earlier pictures; at least for my bad eyes. I really like the paint job too. Thats a very good looking coat of black. I can't wait to see the salt come off.

I have been so excited about this, Please, all comments and critiques are welcome !


 Hope you enjoy as much as I am. 


Sprayed clear gloss this morning, and most of the masking removed. Stuck the tires on for effect. I think the salt is a little over done, but not too bad. I think the pit really makes it POP, as well as the engine detail.Thanks for stopping by............Harv ( the happy camper)

 I treated myself to a little bench time this morning, and tried a bit more weathering with a silver artist pencil. This is were it stands. I like it, I think I'll leave the wing roots as they are. Maybe a bit more weathered than should be, but prove me wrong. Please, all comments welcome. Enjoy....I am.............Harv

It's looking suburb to me. I think you are probably experiencing what I do when I photograph my work; the pictures are just not a good representation of what you see with he naked eye. Photographs tend to make things a little more stark than they are sometimes.

 Had a chance to get to the 38 today. I removed the nose decals last night, and to my horror, a lot of paint along with it. This morning, I masked it off and sprayed some gloss black in a can. Was way to shinny, so buffed it some to tone it down Looks ok. I will put the new decals on later today. Got the left boom aluminum panels done around the turbo and I'm not sure about it. Kind of raggy. I'll think on that. But slipped the turbo in and I like that. Also added some brown wash on the left wing and wiped down. Sure makes a difference. Hope you like............Harv
