12Noon EDT
Put on some Tamiya Medium Sea Grey to the under surfaces and wrapped around to the top. Hopefully this will aid in putting the white on later.
Time check.

1300 EDT
Blitz lunch consumed. That's going to leave a mark.
Better part of the past hour was masking the canopy.
Overall shot with the clock.
Now it is time to ride hard and fast.

Right, I'm done in the ensuite for this evening, off up to spend the night on the boat and consume a lot of beer; hope the build carries on as well as it has so far Jeff

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Thanks for checking on me guys.
1400 check.
Paint on the upper surfaces now. Poly Scale RAAF Green. Not much left to my Polly Scale stores.
Pressing on. A little drying time before the white goes on.
Time for another cuppa joe. Maybe a Van Morrison "Latte' Dah"

Its progressing very nicely.
Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.

Masking of tail turned out fairly well. Tamiya White was used.

Looks like that Tamiya white has good coverage

1600EDT Check.
Painting essentially done now. Yes Fred, the Tamiya white has great covering properties. The masking was done with yellow FrogTape. Just like Tamiya tape.
Overall view.
Gloss coat next in prep for decaling. I will be using Future for quick drying times and the way it handles Hasegawa decals.

1700 EDT Time check.
Gloss coat dry and decaling is done. I have landing gear doors to cut and put in place. Antenna and pitot tube to reattach and the final detail painting and dull coat.
