Sweet!  That gives me hope for my own future NMF builds...

It may not be a true NMF but I think it comes close enough without all the headache. 

There was a C-119 at the shop one of the staff had done using the same paint and it had the same finish as mine. So definitely not a fluke.

Thanks for all the encouragement folks! 

Okay, time for a quick update. I got the tip tanks done and painted.

Then it was onto the landing gear. I was concerned about the way the gear legs mounted but couldn't figure out a way to pin them so hopefully they hold up.

I did drill out the wheels so I can pin them with metal wire. Need to paint them before I install those.

I painted and installed the wheels.

Then the moment of truth:

She's not a tail sitter!

I then started painting the canopy by doing an initial coat of black.

While that dried, I started on the decals. They're from Belcher's Bits, the same guy that made the decals for Ernie's Lanc.
