She's really coming to life...a few more stencils to go, clear coats, washes, and final assembly...I've found the Vallejo liquid mask is pretty amazing when working with NMF finishes, and it sets quickly.

Looks excellent with the decals, my friend @jimh!

Thanks! finally down to the don't screw it up stage. Gear, Flaps, Elevator, Canopies, Props, and weathering...Modelsvit really captured this one well...makes it hard to go to work...I want to see this done! These Mr. Color Metallics make NMF a breeze...although I did use the Alclad Clear as it seems to be a lot more transparent than the Mr. Color Super Clear III.

Looking excellent so far, my friend @jimh!

The last 10% are usually the most time consuming, Jim @jimh
What exactly is that blue curled foil at the canopy?

Nice work with the liquid masking, Jim (@jimh). I have a love/hate relationship with liquid mask. When it works it is great, but sometimes it stays stuck to the canopy and refuses to come off. Maybe it is operator error on my part.

Still working on the 82, but I wanted to get this knocked out before the Nats.

Some very nice work done, Jim @jimh
