Thanks Spiros and John, ---------- A coat of dark grey enamel on the middle, more of those seams showing through, sanded and masked for more painting.

Progressing nicely, Allan @kalamazoo
Thanks John, -------- topside grey done for now, more to do after the missing bits are added, needs some touching up and detailing.

Looking great, my friend @kalamazoo! The open ramp adds a lot to the looks!
Very nice, Allan @kalamazoo Window edge are not the easiest areas to clean up. The open cargo door is excellent.
Model looks great, Allan (@kalamazoo). I like the rippled demarcation near the ramp. The ramp area has a very familiar feel to it. Having flown C-141s for 20 years, I can tell you that the ramp area of most of these cargo planes all look the same. I have logged a lot of time sitting on the plane's ramp playing hurry up and wait.
Thanks my friends, Spiros, John and George, only on the ground, you'd be at the other end when flying !
Masked for painting the nose gear well, MM 36495, pic' later.

Masking everything means "better safe than sorry", my friend @kalamazoo! I usually mask only "locally", typically regretting it later on as overspray occurs!
Indeed the safest way prior to local painting, Allan @kalamazoo I should do tis way of masking also more often, just to be on the safe side.
Thanks Spiros and John, --------- plastic bags make it easier than wrapping in paper as I used to do it, I knocked it against my light and broke the port tail plane off, the other one was weak so it's off as well, will drill and pin the hinges.

Great paint result, Allan @kalamazoo Pity about the hinges broke off, but I'm sure you will get it fixed.
Ditto with our friend @johnb, my friend @kalamazoo!
Thanks my friends John and Spiros, --------- no progress on this for a while.
Well, sometimes it is refreshing to take a break. Sometimes a long break. Paint and glue will have cured when you get back to the build, making a lot of things easier - right?
