    I dry brushed Floquil Bright Silver on the aluminum nacelle sections and masked and hand painted the fin leading edge with the same. The small seam in the a/c air intake at the base of the fin will be simple enough to fill and paint next. Almost forgot that, LOL. Decals tommorow.

    Almost finished. The Lima November decals are excellent. Great color density and perfect register. I’ll wrap this one up by early next week.

    Certainly makes a huge difference to a DC9 to fit it as a cargoplane - looking very nice!

    John, it looks very nice indeed. Not all that usual to see a DC-9 cargoplane, so a big thank you for sharing this one with us!
