Now that is coming along

I have always found the Model Masters Enamel Fl. Orange really thin, but what you have done looks good from what I can see

My first go around with it & yeah, it does appear a bit thin to me & Have laid down about 3 coats so far...

Thanks fellas for the comments :drinks

Yeah, adds some contrast to that Orange fer sure! I see I got some touch ups ta do... :facepalm

Seeing how the decals are slightly yellowed, I've placed them in a window to be sun-bleached in hopes of restoring them some what. So, will wait & see what happens I still have other things to do on her in the meantime...

I went to remove the Liquid masking from the windows, using tape & a toothpick to burnish the tape down and had a couple of them bust loose & fall inside Oh well, I aint gonna worry about it none, she'll be hung from da ceiling anyhow hyeah

 

[Hippy Ed]

If all goes well, I shold have this done by the weekend :hmmm hyeah :java
