| I never paint with colored dope and I only have one color left, yellow, just like yours. Krylon has never failed me, the price is right and no spray gun to clean up! |

| Suggest finishing your yellow paint job with a Krylon spray can. |

| If you use spray paint, white is a good undercoat as sprayed paint covers better. Brushed paint doesn't cover as well unless it's thick. That's OK for Van Gogh but not for models. I use several coats of thin paint and that requires an opaque ground (surface), especially with the transparent colors yellow, red, orange, and some shades of green and blue. |

| Thanks David, I've always used white as an undercoat for yellow, but I can see that a light tan could be even better at times. |

| WOW!! fantastic work |

| Again, thanks for the help. I haven't done a silkspan covering since I was a kid. Long time ago! Figured that I had to use dope.I am going to check out your piece on acrylics on the Guillow's site. I used them on the P-40 for the nose art and it works well. I only do this in the winter when It's too cold to get on the horse, so my experience from the 50's is a little out of date. This site really helps. |

| A light brown or tan close to the yellow will work best as an underpainting, primer, and allow fewer coats of yellow. |

| Thanks Jerry, I'll remember that. A few more coats and I should be OK. |

| Beautifully done! |

| For Yellow you almost always need a white under coat. |

My kids gave me a happy hour over southern Maryland for my 69th. It's what I hope to recreate. |

First color coat yesterday. Running into the nitrate/butyrate problem. No butyrate thinner. Suggestions? |

Tried pop can and balsa before settling on the cardstock. If yo put the green side in the paint covers more easily. Tin foil and toilet pape Do make good seat cushions. Used a strip of solder to stiffen the sides where there's a tube in the real thing. |
