JohnB Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I've been working on this one for 4-5 weeks now. I am building it without all the "fiddly" toy hinges, etc. I hope it will go well with another 506th a/c I built a couple of years ago that has a yellow tail. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Time to start applying decals. I applied several coats of Alclad Gray Primer and a bit of Liquitex modelling medium with sanding with several grades of sand paper between coats to reduce the rivets on the wings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
