I drew on a centerline LIGHTLY with a pencil and measured where things should be. Then I used one of the plastic bomb bay doors from the kit as a template to draw on the doors.Next I used a regular piece of paper, which has perfect 90* angles, with one edge taped on the centerline to establish where the line going around the fuselage is.I marked lightly with lencil about three guide marks and then used a piece of flexible plastic to draw on the line. Lines. With these lines as reference the ones remaining to be added will be easier to establish.

The landing gear doors were cut from the bottom engine nacelle before it was assembled. To reattach I "hung" them with a short piece of masking tape taped to the backside of the door and that allows enough support so the door can then be braced a bit with a finger inside the nacelle while a small amount of CA is applied to the junction. As soon as it cures enough to hold by itself a short piece of styrene rod was laid on the junction. The CA is still wet enough to hold the rod in place but I gave it an overall application just to make sure. You can see how it blends in. I've used this method before and I would prefer to hide the rod but this time I couldn't.

The section below the windows was covered with silkspan and given a couple of coats of clear dope. I used Pactra masking tape for all but the very front of the canopy and the entire process was spread over 4 days. Here light green is applied first and will be followed by three coats of gray and then two coats of thye gray with iridescent silver added.

The cast resin prop blades were sprayed with Model Masters gloss black enamel and still need to be cut to length. The painting of the canopy is nearly finished. The paper Night Prowler will be replaced with a decal of it. 85* yesterday!
