Okay , decals are on and most of the detail painting is done . Will be able to start the weathering this afternoon and start making turnbuckles .

I did have an issue with the 7 on the right side of the fuselage and will need to touch this up with paint .

Looking good, Terri.
For me, models always start to come alive when decals/markings are added, even if they are minimal.

I have the very same question of Edo: what paint brand did you use for the aluminium?
the tone is looking like the real one

Hi guys , thanks for following along . It's great encouragement  :)

Edo and Ermeio . For the alum I used Vallejo Metal Coat white Alum .

Here is my progress over the weekend . Weather is done and every thing is seal up . Just assembly and rigging left do to . I started making the turn buckles , but still have a few more to make up .
