    @gblair @johnb @fivetenThese few painting shortcomings were successfully corrected. I guess I can sleep well now.

    Both of you should get a rest now, Lis @lis
    The Mustang to dry and you to get new energy for continuation of the Mustang.

    Yesterday I didn't make any work because of some repair work in home (I hate it). Today I start masking panels on wings. Unfortunetly I found two small places on fuselage where paint looks not good. It make me crazy! I belive that fuselage had complete painting. I have to repair it 🙁

    Having an own house makes these repairs occur from time to time, Lis @lis
    Most of the time when you are not expecting them.
    The fuselage areas which need to be corrected, are they underneath a decal maybe.
    Good panel masking.

    @gblair @johnb @fiveten Today anti-glare panel. Also I painted stainless steel covers around the exhaust pipes. I haven't taken a picture of them yet, because I have to look for them. I have the impression that they are too dark ... But I think too late for changing it... Pictures soon!

    Great masking, @lis. We share the same masking technique. I have discovered that if I leave 1 millimeter of exposed surface area, then unwanted paint will find its way there, so I cover everything. Well done.

    @gblair @johnb @fiveten NMF looks quite good. But stainless steel covers are to Dark I think. I correct it many Times to be smooth. But I'm disapointed now...

    To me, stainless steel covers look acceptable, my friend @lis.
    The model looks gorgeous!
