Love the paintwork, my friend @j-healy!

Anti glare panels and decals today. This particular plane featured a green panel on the fuselage and black section on the cowling. I can only imagine how these were repaired constantly. Lots of wear on every one I’ve seen from Barin Field. In addition to the carrier qualification done at Barin, each student was required to show proficiency at shooting towed targets with the SNJ’s .30 cowl gun.

Love the different shades at front anti-glare, my friend @j-healy!
The SNJ is nicely coming along!

Wow - that is one very nice plane with those decals added!

Very nice build John! I have two of these being worked on- one will become a Canadian Harvard- I am going to have to vac form a rear canopy for it , as well as build up the coaming at the rear, and get an exhaust to model a Canadian Harvard. The other will be built as the second SNJ that the Blue Angels flew, with Blue "US Navy" titles. The first was an SNJ-3 (with hinomaru), with a Harvard style rear canopy part.

Looking great, my friend @j-healy, moving towards the finish line!

I agree, John (@j-healy). Paint and weathering look fine.

She looks great, John.
A pitty that you have to wait for the canopy now.
But she deserves a perfect finish and therefore it is worth the wait.
