Cockpit looking aft. No masking tape ergo seatbelts not yet installed. |

Next underside grey will be a touch lighter. Also decided to hollow out the oil cooler intakes at leading edge. There were a lot more panels that could be drawn in but they can become a real PITA. |

Decals for RTD. Question. Where do you guys get your water slide decal sheets? Scaled off Rechalovs' kills today and now must duplicate a decal. Going to need clear sheets for this and white for the serial #. Really don't want to use "flea" bay. I tried DD's method of stars. Kudos DD, I gave up. I can probably get away with it on the underside. Too nany colors bumping into green. |

Soon to be the P-39Q15 of Maj. Grigoriy Andrrevih Rechkalov of the russian 16GIAP. Trying to locate stars for decaling his 56 kills and a better replica of his initials. |

Original Yellow ochre and black mixture produced an olive color that dried over night much darker than the first photo I posted. By adding varying degrees of tan rather than white or more yellow, I faded the Cobra's individual panels. One more application of the original base color lightened just a touch and watered down should tie it all together nicely. |

Moostang's version of a worn wing surface. The few blemishes in recessed panelines will be touched up with thin CA, covered with future acrylic, then washed with...who knows? My thanks to DD for a great lesson on how colors actually work. |
