Carrying on...
I'm likin' this. I'm going to have to break down all the airbrushes to clean out all the red, even the one i'm not using.
But I think I'm getting the effect I want.
Here's the real thing, photo from Wiki
To me it looks gloss, might be why some of the bleed through is not being picked up by the 100+ year old photos.
I had gotten some of that polishing stuff from Uschi.
Tamiya X1 then polish it with the stuff. I really dig it.
Now, I'm at the major screw up point, almost had one yesterday. trying to lay the body up for drying it slipped and too a nose dive. The Motor popped out but no major damage. Pressing on.
Took Mental Heath Day today and tomorrow. Might be rapping this up soon.

Looks like you are nailing it Bob!
As to the gloss, it was probably red dope put over the existing paint and fabric. Seems like I have read someplace where the fabric had some kind of a lacquer finish coat so it might be glossy.

Thanks for the kind comments, spent the day...the entire day in the yard. Still got work to do, about blew out the knee, might slip down to the garage this evening. After all, got another day off tomorrow. :dance

Did a couple of things last night, wasn't up to much after battling the yard all day. I noticed the carrier film for a couple of decals really sticking out. Any suggestions how to handle that at this point?

Once you put paint over them, I think you are set in stone, sorry.
It's fightin' all the way.
I had plans for the control lines going up in the upper wing but that got blown away quick. I'll rigg up something else for it.
Can't find my turnbuckles....might be making some. :frantic
