    Thanks my friend @johnb! This black takes ages to dry (don't know why 🙂 ), so it will be possibly tomorrow that I will resume working.

    I wonder why it is just the black that takes a long time to dry, Spiros (@fiveten)?

    No clue, my friend @gblair. One of life's mysteries.

    That's a lot of masking, Spiros @fiveten
    What happened to the tape on the starboard wing.

    Thanks my friend @johnb! The greenish tape on the starboard wing is a big leftover piece from my Hellenic Sabre that I trimmed and reused (too big to be ignored by my "El Cheapo" personality 🙂 ).

    Very nice progress, Spiros.
    Looking forward to seeing your completed Banshee. I sold my HobbyCraft kits at the last show, but kept my Academy Banshee since it had the nicest decals. Yours is looking very good.

    Thanks my friend @georgeswork!
    Yeah, my decals are not that good, main issue being the off-registration of the roundels. Let's see how it will go.

    Started applying the light gray, found some imperfections that need attention, so another filling and sanding round is on...

    A pity you needed some additional corrections, Spiros @fiveten
    But better at this stage than at the end.
    Good progress.
