Once again, thank you all so much for the kind words, still learning here.
Yesterday, I sprayed a few coats of a mix of Tamiya clear, clear orange & clear yellow. I wasn't sure if I needed more, but, today, I removed the tape masking from the wing to see if the previously panted wing stub & center section matched the body. Not exactly, but I guess it'll be close enough. I also now realize that the D.V didn't have the strap on the fuselage between the undercarriage struts (correct terminology?). Oh well, they'll be painted green primer. Another lesson learned.
I previously filled in the transitions of both the vertical tail fin & tail skid faring with superglue to create the smoother contours & you can see that here. I also need to add some wood color between the wing & the fuselage because I see a bit of grey plastic that my masking obviously covered.
The hatches & vents are covered with Bare Metal Foil to prevent paint buildup during the process. I think the color will do, but I need to add more clear to be able to sand & reduce the texture of the spray.
