painting is starting with a pale grey

next some camp colors

Doug,
That top pictures of the detailed cockpit is just mind boggling. Well done my friend.

So far the start to your camo paint scheme is looking good.

stuff for under the wing

gloss coat for the decaling

decaling started

Doug,
Nice start to the decaling. Your under wing stores and loads really look exceptional.
Joel

weathering beginning with oil paint washes, burnt umber and black

more weathering

Doug,
I really like how you simulated the exhaust staining on the natural metal areas just aft of there the cans will be.

Joel

back-seater

underwing weathering and stores

Doug,
I'm really impressed with the loads out. And the backseater does add that little something extra.
Joel

Beautiful build – love what you did with the "drivers"!

Doug,
In this case two is certainly better then one.

Joel

well it is done

Dough,
Looks outstanding. My only suggestion would be a more complete photo presentation.
Joel

Doug,
Outstanding! Thanks for sharing your build. It will be very inspirational to many of us. The drivers are awesome.
Take care,
Don "Lakota"
