No problem at all Bob. They got to you pretty dang fast. She is looking very nice
Thanks Gary, still got some to do yet. Those decals look just too new. :hmmm
Been looking at some pictures of the Hellcat in action and found this one
I do believe that is the look i'm going after, not so much chipped up but faded, especially around the US Insignia on the side. You can tell the accessory bay panels were painted on another aircraft as the color demarcation does not line up with the panels to the aft. That would have been a very cool effect if I had seen this picture before, would have tried it.
What's got me wondering, the underside of the wing, what's going on there, chipping, dirt, grime?? I don't know.

Not sure what you're looking at exactly Bob... Dirty hand prints from handling the airplane ?
As far as the mismatched demarcations, it looks like the installed a whole different front end on it . Not too late to change it as it looks to be different shades anyway :fencing

Look under the leading edge and trailing back, it looks really pitted, spotted. Not really hand prints or handling.
My eyes have been attacked by some pollen today, don't understand it with the rain we've been getting lately. Can't see a dang thing...missing some good quality bench time

Just read something on that yesterday. It went on to say storms are not necessarily a good thing as some times it just stirs it up more than washes it away. :fencting
I wish I had a good picture of that Cat. Just thinking out loud here. I wonder if the folding part could have been painted blue like the Corsairs and the over painted with the light gray and then deteriorated ( somehow ) :hmmm
