Wow! Looking great Tim. Really nailin' it.

Chunky mud! Looks great.

I don't know the beaufighter at all but it almost looks like it would fit around either the rudder or stabilizer, maybe a root flaring?

I had permapress shirt and cotton paints. You can imagine how I looked after a couple of years.

I've read about the effects of coral sand working on the Cactus Airforce finishes. Surfaces sand blasted from the blast. Funny you posted a photo of the back of the prop there, @phantom II and I were just talking about that the other day. Is this your next subject? Battle worn Spitfire?
