I don't know if you knew this or not, but I was back in the ER with another mild heart attack. I'm fine except for a bout of depression, witch is getting a bit better. So, I feel like I should get back to work on my P-38. Need some plastic therapy. BUT, before I can do that, I think I need some straightening up to. Seems my bench has gotten a bit cluttered After I clean up I'll get back to it. Thanks for hanging in there with me............Harv

Thank you all ! Phil ! I'm doing good buddy. Its been almost 4 yrs now, and I'm ready to get er done and move on. Have the doors primed and the AB is stripped down soaking in windex. So my plane is to paint the doors and get them weathered this weekend. Hope so..............harv

 

[dirtball]

Looky here ! Doors painted, but thats all. I tried a little pre shading, but not sure about it. What do you think ? I still have to weather and seal, and add a couple dry transfers. Thanks for looking in...........Harv

 

[moon puppy]

Looks fine Harv, I never have been able to get preshade to work. What I see is very subtle.

 

[dirtball]

Weathering is started. Not sure if this is too heavy. What say ye ? The black, I think I'll have to tone down a lot. Thanks for looking in !............Harv

 

[dirtball]

OK, a small update. The doors are weathered, finally . I always seemed to have trouble getting the wash to go on smooth, but always beaded up. I remember guys talking about this prob and the remedy was a small drop of dish soap ! It works ! I did tone them down a bit and am happy with them. Need to seal them and have a couple of dry transfers to add and these will be done. As always comments welcome. Thanks for sticking with me..........Harv

Great job Harv!

Well I was planning on adding a bunch of red dry transfers, but going back over ref pics I have, seems there we're not a whole lot of stencils on them. I still might "fake " a few just to brake all the black up, just small ones..............Harv
