Thanks Rick, that's a great picture

mean while, back at the ranch.........

[MarnochS]

Now for some checkerboards........

[MarnochS]

Starting the Fuselage Invasion stripes - going for a little glossy-er with reduced Flattener ( 3:1 ). also using a finer paint filter ( 100-120 mesh ) as the flattener seems to have some excessive debris that has separated out.




Marking up the Cowl horizontal lines

[MarnochS]

made some paper black stripes and a star & bars mockup to check if things are fitting before painting.

[MarnochS]

I think i'm liking it........


Maybe a little larger on the lettering though...... right now it's 4 inch .......I think 5 inch will fit OK.

two paws up....( err..aah ..out ....) from the " inspector" ......hard at work.... on Sunday......

[MarnochS]

Vinyl paint masks for the Stars and Bars, then final alignment checking.

Masking......masking....... and more masking .....now I have to buy some more tape , the delicate stuff this time.

[MarnochS]

Applied a coat of clear in a bid to reduce bleed thru..... then the big step.....
