    A beautiful parallel build, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Love to see progress on both of them.

    as already mentioned in the other Monogram/Revell T-6 build thread, the landing light covers don´t fit well

    only pre-cut mask for the M-R Texan is from Montex
    thought it would fit both Monogram canopies, early (with middle strut in the side windows) and late style...found out the mask fits only the late style canopy, so my dad had to mask it with masking tape, inner canopy colour already sprayed on

    slowly looking like an aircraft

    gonna paint the fuselage with AK Xtreme Metal White Aluminium, which you can hardly wash away once dry, therefore my dad used Gunze H8 Silver if something goes wrong with the canopy

    applied some primer to see where still some work is necessary
    the yellow and green Brasil flag stripes on the rudder have to be painted, started with yellow
