Clear coating is finished . I mixed Tamiya clear orange with Tamiya smoke , pre-shading is done with Tamiya smoke . This now needs to dry for two . It's damp and with many coat applied it's pretty thick ! It's darker then what the photo's are showing and this will come out more once the semi gloss is applied tying it all together , but it is looking good so far . Also sprayed the blue/grey using Tamiya XF82 Ocean grey 2 . Struts , landing gear , gun ring , tail skid , spinner . Work will start on the tail feathers next once the fuselage is dried . I still need to spray the rudder fin black for that stage . It really is starting to come together , fair amount to go yet .
