| Camels can be an entry drug into a new hobby. They can cause addiction, and I can testify to that fact! |

I realized that I mixed up the decals for the top/bottom wings after it was too late. Not only that, but I decided too late in the process to go for perfection and tape the edges of the wings and clean up my lines. This resulted in the tape tearing off part of the decals, hence the slightly off-color blue paint in an attempt to salvage things. Amateurs . . . |

I thought spray painting would be easy. Not only did it stink, but because of the toxicity and mess I had to do it in the garage in damp 40 degree weather (I live in the Pacific NW) and then use a hair dryer so it would dry before the end of the winter. I think I went through at least several cans of spray paint trying to get it covered. Next time I'm biting the bullet and using acrylics. |

Finished! Plane #1 is in the can. Well, I guess that B-17 is technically in the can, but ... |

Progress! |

Got all the plastic parts painted. This was the part I was most dreading as I don't feel that confident at painting. Definitely turned out better than I expected. |

Parts all covered. I've only done one of these before (the B-17) about 20 years ago, but didn't get past this stage because I had to move and couldn't take the model with me. Ready for the next step! |
