| Very nice, David. Sharp and clean as always. You mentioned "spots" with the Tamiya tape. My DR1 had a beautiful brushed-on paint job using Tamiya acrylic gloss red paint. When I masked the white area on the top wing I was very happy with the sharp lines the Tamiya tape rendered but NOT with the dull area that remained when the tape was removed. Was this your problem? Anyone else? |

| I think so, narrower is more flexible. |

| I've been using Tamiya 6mm, but had trouble with those spots. Maybe I need narrower? |

| Thank you. Indeed I did. Great stuff! I used Model Masters flat black acrylic for the black areas because it is really flat. If I had used Liquirex acrylic it would have been shiny because it's shiny underneath. |

| Thanks. I used Testors 1/16" for the canopy and to mask the black exhaust panel because it 's flexible enough for inside and outside curves. Unfortunately, it is no longer made. I would guess Tamiya brand is equal. There are also many new tapes in smaller widths available by Scotch and others. |

| Very nice DD. Did you mix up some gloss medium for the final coat? |

| Very nice, DD. What brand of tape did you use for the canopy? I always have trouble with the compound curves like the front. |

| she gonna be another show stopper, Dave!
Looking forward to seeing the prop and then all the panel lines along with the rest of the insignia. The green stripes on the wings look exactly to spec by the way - very nice |

The insignia on the left wing is only for show, the real one is smaller. |

A bit later... |

The paper is to block the tapr and help keep the paint from lifting. Reminder: press the edges of the tape down with a small rounded object, round end of a small brush, to seal the tape. This gray is the same color of the interior of the cockpit. |

| No Dave, Thank You.
You are setting a high bar as are several other modelers here, and everyone in the room has offered up inspiration in one form or another. I have nothing but gratitude for all of you who contribute to this forum, just peruse it, or offer up advice and share your tips n tricks as you go. Thank you all. |

| Thank you, Kevin. I am humbled by such kindness! |

| That too - but I was referring to Dave’s ultra clean workmanship. As his models come together you see effort made to create the seamless, almost liquid lines of the aircraft. The wing to fuselage joins, the tail assemblies, the canopy and fairings - all made to flow together, rather than simply ‘attach’ or ‘connect’...and he tops of the assemblies always with equally fine finish work. The paint prep and execution is flawless. The T-28 and other relatively basic airframes only serve to highlight the artists ability. A clean airframe, recreated by the artist with a clean scale representation. Ultra Clean to my eye. Look at it. It looks like it was poured from a bottle and just assumed the perfect shape of the T28! |

| Smooth clean lines! |

| so clean!! |

This is the final color. It will now dry several days before any more painting is done. |
