| It's delightful to see this TBF Avenger with the horizon
far behind. Very nice. |

| I do have a trigger type handle, and I've used it on larger models and other spray paint applications...I just decided I didn't need to use it on this smaller model. |

| The paint does wrinkle up the tissue paper slightly when it's wet (same as when you put the clear dope on), but it quickly shrinks tight again. |

| Thank-you for the nice comments! |

| Yes, the wheels came with the kit, but I used a fine point "Sharpie" silver paint pen to add the spokes. |

| Have you ever tried one of those little gadgets that converts your sparay can push button into a trigger type handle? Seems it wouls be easier on my hand and fingers but I don't know how it effects the spray pattern? Also, do you have any issues with sag or shrink when you spray paint? Thanks for you help and that is a beautiful model. |

| Considering that the 500 series kits are caricatures of the airplanes rather than true scale representations, that is freaking gorgeous! |

Finished! |

After masking off the sky blue bottom, the top side was spray painted with Krylon true blue. |

Covered with tissue and 2 coats of clear dope. |

Checking the fit; framed the canopy base with balsa instead of heavy paper. The scale propeller is per plans. |
