Thanks, All.
Eric, I will give it a try. For my recent yellow builds I added a couple of drops of red directly into the full paint jar...this seemed to make the yellow less transparent and requiring less coats.

Great progress, my friend @gwskat!

Painted the four insignia areas, wings and fuselage, AK Real Color, RC222, Insignia White in prep for the masks.

I'll echo what our good friend Spiros said ! Looks great indeed... 🙂

Thanks All!

Pretty close, Eric...LOL Yes, it's the top to the deodorant I use but it's not roll on...HAHAHA. Actually, what I use them for is a reservoir to put my CA in why I'm building. At the end of each session I wipe out the CA and they last for a number of uses. It just happened to be a handy object to prop up the tail while painting.

Amongst work, traveling and home projects here is my latest, slow progress, including a major hiccup, over the last couple of weeks

Cut and masked insignias

Painted Yellow...when I discovered a seam, between the clear&plastic parts, opened up. Most likely due to a combination of only using super glue, not hotter glue to "weld" the seam and stress from being heavy handed while painting...? Who knows...but there it was.

After filling the seam, sanding the area, blending filler to feather out the area and sanding again, and that process multiple times, I decided to move on though it's far from smooth. Don't look too close!

Painted Yellow...again.
Painted Insignias.

Despite my setback I'm fairly pleased with the results.
Up next...fix some of the insignia, decal the tail codes and piper cub, semi gloss clear.

Looks perfect, Gary @gwskat

Great looking tail decals and ditto save on the tail wheel support, my friend @gwskat!
