Progress Update

After a coat of Testor's Dullcoat, it's time to start finishing this up with weathering and details. All masks have been removed and the cockpit canopies installed. Getting closer to the finish line.

John @johnb: I sprayed the flat clear coat first and removed the masks afterwards. I no longer favor dipping canopies in Future or spraying clear coats over them because it makes for too much paint build up and makes it hard to get clean lines when removing the masks. Only the windscreen has the flat clear coat. In this case, I sprayed the canopy frames with interior green first and then followed up with the non spectacular blue on top of that using flat paint all the way. I actually enjoy masking canopies because I don't get clean results when I try to paint the frames by hand. I also use a product called "Goo Gone" to remove any residue left by the masking tape. It doesn't hurt the paint.

Wow, Eric (@eb801), I really like the paint and markings on your Corsair. The national markings with the red outline really stand out. I have never tried Goo Gone, mainly because I hate the way it smells. I use alcohol on a cotton bud which will usually do the trick.

Looking wonderful, my friend @eb801!

Thanks everybody for stopping by guys, @robertandy, @johnb, @fiveten, @gblair and @lgardner.

Almost Ready to Stand up!

I've been working on the bottom of the plane. Tailwheel now installed and today I will adding the main gear and flaps.
Here's a couple of photos:

H100 will be standing on its own legs next time I post.

Progressing really nice, Eric @eb801
Thanks for warning about the extensions.

Gear Installed!

Very nice work on the landing gear, Eric @eb801
