B-57B Cranberry

Well, another 11 hour finish :woohoo: I had to take the day off to deal with some other issues and it turned out to be a good thing as I probably wouldn't have made it otherwise.

I chose the all black scheme because I was tired of doing multicolor camo schemes but in the end I think I would have been happier with this one in SEA colors. The gloss black was a major pain. :bang head A constant battle with finger prints and trying to handle fiddly bits with gloves on wasn't a happening thing. It also was a dust magnet. It did provide a nice surface for the decals which worked great and were tough enough to stand the rigors of being coaxed into position. I think the USAF on the wings is the largest single decal I have ever used. I'm not totally happy with a few things but that seems to be the case with most of my builds. Anyway, here she be...Note: the glossy finish also made it a pain to photograph :angry:
