Thanks Ken. Yesterday I moved forward by applying the initial CDL to the wing undersides and around the wing rib locations on the upperside. The next step will be masking over the ribs with Bobs Strippers then applying the PC10.

Yesterday I masked the ribs with Bobs strippers. Today I have used Oil Dot Filter / weathering to give the undersurfaces a bit of an earth toned darkening. Not sure how this is going to turn out so stay tuned. The upper surfaces will be sprayed in two sessions. The first with the PC 10 with maskes in place, then again with the masks removed.

Rick,
       Dumb question, but what are "Bob's Strippers"?  I dare not do a Google search at work.  :o ;)

Funny  ;D The same type of question was asked a long time ago when I started this thread. The Strippers are from Bob of Bobs Buckles:

PS: The photo in the previous post that has the McCudden SE5a included will give everyone an idea of what the upper surface "Should" look like after the tapes are removed and the thin coat of PC 10 is sprayed over all.

Thanks Rick!  I figured they were from Bob, but I went to his website and didn't see them. I must be blind.

Thanks Alexis. I hope to do the PC 10 tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has used the Drooling Bulldog PC 10. I have some but to Me it looks too dark and too green?
