Thanks guys! The saw was out to remove the nose glass,one less thing to mask.

Thanks for the kind words, my friends. After much digging, I finally found my package of Elmers Tack and following Chris' suggestion, I used it to mask my glass.

I pulled off small pieces of the tack, pushed it into the opening, then coaxed it into shape with a toothpick. Here goes nothin' :pinch:

It's in the paint booth now with primer drying. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for coming by.

What Chris said but maybe more contrast between the biege and the green. Try darkening up the green and post shade the panel lines?

Thanks, guys! Chris suggested a thin coat of Tamiys Khaki, it seems to have lightened things, but may need to shoot an overall coat and forget the panel lines? I keep looking at the box art and that was the color I'd intended, but this ain't it. :hmmm
