    Thanks my friends, Spiros, John and capt.R, -----------
    a second coat of black on, some masking and a patchy first coat of 29, should have undercoated ! looking better after a second coat but the fuselage needs more.

    Starting to come together, Allan @kalamazoo. I have been holding this kit in my stash for a long time, so I am looking forward to the rest of the build so I can decide it I need to move it farther up the build list.

    Humbrol with enamel thinner works well as a paint stripper when there's an edge to get under !

    Great work done on the camo, Allan (@kalamazoo). I have never tried spraying Humbrol, but it looks like it goes on really smoothly. I normally keep some Humbrol around for brush painting.
