Thank you Mr. PaulE I thought about doing another one like the box art camo. Thanks for stopping by

Paul. I just had other projects going on and another reason I was afraid of the rivet counters attacking but I don’t care about it and more
 
Left alone, no question they packed a hard punch, but the Jug could defend itself way better than either of the aforementioned, and w/eight 50cals, eight rockets & a couple 500 pounders it had a punch as well. PaulE

Alan. Go for it! Glad you stopped by and took a peek.

Paul. You’re so right my friend but she just couldn’t move like the spit and mustang. I was unloading at a Customer one time and a guy was giving us flybys with his Mustang that thing was so fast

I hand painted the anti glare tonight after painting I took a brand new scalpel blade and edge it. Not the best but with my hands full of arthritis and poor eyesight I think it looks good 56149140-715B-44AE-9F13-F94641B7E803.jpegAD1FDE40-7A8A-4727-BEF1-3BF0D83B6F78.jpegA767BA4B-CE92-4402-9A59-166B514A6295.jpegC57A1C53-1F7E-4E3E-8E65-7CED1EC8CA91.jpeg6CF287B9-C8CA-4758-A995-5B8B4F007FE5.jpegA56C9A49-0EC3-404C-8614-C37C47B39D01.jpeg
 
It wasn't made to move Lee, It was made to stay together under heavy counter fire. Just as the Flying fortress was built to take heavy punishment. That's what got the job done! Cheers, Rick H.

ps. Loving the progress.

Thanks Rick. To me it was a work horse. Going to tackle the decals tomorrow and add some exhaust
 
Great photos Lee, I notice some neat looking containers in a couple of photos ?
Not easy to paint a line free hand like that either .
Decals will no doubt be in the next issue. ! :smiling:

Ralph. Wait no longer this morning I painted the Black on the bottom to hide the smoke from the exhaust added the stencils markings, painted the marker lights on the wings, and decaled the left side of the aircraft.5609A1DB-1370-4D22-B017-678E3FBB3BB6.jpegCA8F08BB-6935-47EA-9B65-E751C67BC790.jpeg852BD983-5CAC-43A9-A101-79951B2AD3AA.jpeg5D58331D-DD4B-40D3-9778-2940882E2702.jpeg893C4BE9-0A32-450F-84B0-EB94B42129F9.jpeg71654D6E-51B1-4557-B676-79689BD84927.jpegBF95D023-620B-46EA-B3F1-7CA240F3E3A9.jpeg1EF1FF76-02D9-4509-A38E-169D346C7B13.jpeg
