Back from the tryptophan/bourbon coma. Hope the folks that celebrated that day had a good one. Finally got to the point the primer could be laid down. I was aghast when I realized that I had just thinned nearly a full jar Mr. Surfacer 1500 black with Home Depot lacquer thinner. THE HORROR!. It was fine, nice and smooth. Waiting for the primer to dry I started cleaning up the R-33's. Don't be fooled by the 1 piece molding... plenty of mold lines to cleaned up. One rocket nozzle was missing from 1 of the sprues. I noticed it before I opened the plastic bag so I know I did not loose it... for a change. Hey, it happens. RTV mold and Alumilite to the rescue. Way faster than trying to contact AMK.   |

Yeah, I feel your pain. It's a big old plane. This is how mine is displayed right now; it towers over the F-100:  |

It's been a good bench day but had to get to pulling the masking, most of it anyway. "We don't need no steenking Viagra!"  Marbling and the start of the blend coat  Have to be careful to stop before you cover up a long paint session.  |

Thanks fellas. Anthony... I tried several different greys, lightened with white, and settled on XF-66, Light Grey. I can't tell you the ratio but this is how far it was lightened.  Andy... DUCK! |

I need to try that marbling thingy one of these days.
300 decals? Does it really need them?
Somehow I never noticed the staggered-wheel setup on the main gear for this a/c. WEIRD!

Bring on the paint! 
Looking good Marc.
