Hi guys ! Hey , thanks for the positive comments at this stage it is the only thing which is keeping the spirit alive .
The silvergary is sprayed . For this I mixed Tamiya sky grey XF-19 and flat alum X-16 with a bit of white . Tires got sprayed neutral grey . Bungee cords I painted Tamiya Deck Tan . Cockpit combing is still a work in progress , made a mess of it I did and ended up smearing some down the fuselage side and had to touch that up resulting in walking away and smoking a joint !
Feel much better now and the right side has been touch up . I'm hoping that it will blend in better once the finally sealing coats have been applied . Some of the seams didn't turn out over well this time around . But at this stage the resin is paper thin and can't with stand to much more sanding and lacquer thinner wiping away any excess will make the resin brittle ending in cracks .
Also didn't do any shading on the ribs . When the Baron test flew this it was still new so wouldn't show a lot of aging or wear . So weathering will be kept on the light side . Clear coating is finished as well and once this is dried it's off to decalling . While this drying detail painting engine is taking place and works on the prop laminations .
