| it looks spectacular in red David! and I've reset my laptop color to default...
Have you got an image with that fabulous Williams Bros Wasp Jr featured? |

| It's Cadmium Red Medium Hue, about as red as it gets. |

| you have gotten the wing, fuselage and wheel spat masks aligned perfectly - and this shot, while not terrific from a pilot's perspective, really shows that off. Nice job on the reg. and race numbers too! |

| well executed paint job David - I love the blood orange color..
EDIT - when I saw these images on my laptop the color had a distinct orange tint - but on the PC monitor in my workshop it looks red. Guess I need to reset the laptop screen. |

I used filler on the balsa inserts and sanded them smooth. |

Gluing balsa pieces inside these kinds of plastic pieces helps when assembling them. |

| Each side of the fuselage was covered with one piece of silkspan. |

The landing gear wire is sandwiched between 3 pieces of 1/16" stock. When they are sanded smooth I can add the wheel pants. |

Overnight rain and lingering clouds this morning kept the temperature quite comfortable long enough for me to do all the covering. The rudder and elevators were done earlier. |

| Beautiful job, DD. I'm still in the process of infilling the Mustang. It's taking me a bit longer than anticipated due to my working schedules and family obligations. |

| ah..yes - the clear coat over the top is critical for these stickers to pass muster at all..

| No complaints about the quality but they are thick, I rarely clear coat, and they are a pain in the ass to cut out. As this will not be painted as the one and only Z model, I don't feel any obligation to duplicate it, which means I have no intention of painting all the small details on the real plane. |

| David, you mean my other mentor..?
I know purists hate the peelie stickies - I even emailed Dumas to ask "Really??!" and "WHY?!" But I used them anyway A) because I wanted to model Lowell Bayles' mount and B) because I try to use the kit provided materials whenever possible.
And I have been impressed by their quality for the most part. Sure they're a bit thick (like me) but they go on easy and clean and once they are under the clear coat you cant really tell the difference unless you look for it. |
