Thank you Ernie.

John sublime as ever, did you say you use enamels predominately? I must admit my only go to enamel is Xtracolor Zinc Chromate .....

Thanks Phil. Yes, enamels have long been my paints of choice. I have always had good results with them. Just a matter of preference I guess.

Now it's time to start painting the model! I will use Xtracolor for the two upper camo colors.

Jeez! That’s a lot of flammable and explosive stuff in a very small area.

[JohnB]

Most of the painting is now done. Some touchup work will be needed but not a big deal. Decaling can start fairly soon.

Very nice finish John. I always like the gloss finish you manage to achieve on your builds.

Yes, coming right along. I'll do some paint touchups then start with the decals. Should be a good looking model in the end.

LOL Jeff. I appreciate that!

I'll still have to add the rest of the landing gear, props, bomb bay doors and a few other odds and ends after I get the decals on.

Help needed!! I managed to screw up part of the "Moonbeam McSwine" decal when I tried to put it on the model.

As luck would have it that Aviology sheet is now only available in 1/48 and 1/24 so I can't get a replacement from them. Would any of you guys happen to have this sheet in 1/32? All I would need is the kill markings and the name under the artwork (I haven't applied the art yet). You would be saving my butt if you could send just those little pieces to me so I can complete the model.  I would also be willing to buy the entire sheet if that works for you. Thanks in advance!!!
