Chris, so far nothing has been launched off the bench but care is necessary! Thanks, Bob. The drilling went well, there is a steel pin adding some strength. Just needs a semi-gloss overcoat now.

Got the buzz number on the tail and the greyish color on the wing inner panels now. Next is the USAF on the wings which had to follow the grey areas.

Yes, That's it. Thanks.

Bet black ever, Chris. Coverage with just a whisper of paint and just the right gloss. Only have a little left.

The most likely scenario would be a pilot about to make an unintentional gear up landing, Paul. But maybe it's just some guy out practicing. Most any modern airplane of any size would have a loud horn blowing in the pilots ear, but I doubt a Corsair would have that.

The U-2 is progressing, if slowly. The markings here have all been painted, only the stars and bars and the small decals around the cockpit, and a few stencils will be used. Annoyingly the right stabilizer has decided to take a short holiday, looks like some drilling and pinning is in my future.

The Alclad ALC 101 has been applied over a Mr. Surfacer 1500 black primer. Serious damage was done to the masking supplies in setting up to paint the theater stripes, in this photo the black stripes have been painted using Model Master Black Chrome and then have been masked off. After this...

Lovely! Congratulations on the Silver.

Paul, it's hard to think of a situation where you would be full flaps and gear up, but I suppose it could happen. Thanks for the heads up about the wing fit.

The added details make a big difference, Gary. I can never warm up to the angular canopy of the S, the G was so clean looking. When the Cobra was new one came to a show at our guard unit and put on a display. Definitely a new generation from our CH-37's.

Marbleized!

I remember something odd with the outer wing panel fit, something to do with the landing gear well side parts.

I think it is black:smack:

I'm surprised you are making this look so good. I have one but it has some warps and the plastic seems brittle. So the Hasegawa and Monogram kits look better to me. But under the paint it's amazing how much they can all look the same with a good builder.

Excellent display, well done!

Cool! Love the brass.

Thanks, James. I'm rather pleased with it.

It's coming along nicely, Martin!

I prefer to do those with paint, but then the last F-86 I did was Academy and I didn't even try with their decals.
