I did get the white on... souprise! This morning as the Oakland A's are playing on One I got the green down. Just some touch up to do, around the cockpit mainly. The 23 Tamiya color is what I am going to use on the bottom. The little jar of "thinner" is where I keep the airbrush tip between uses soaking in alcohol. I will try and do the blue today before treatment. 5 days off from radiation fizz, I hate my days revolving around 4:15pm. Just one photo today.
Planes are so simple....... damned helicopter builds!
Had to look close to see the wings. Looks good BIll.
Well that sucked...... I made it light enough to see them..... maybe this one. I did get the blue down and did a dry fit of the prop. The backs of the blades are black..... I still have to clean up the leading edge of the wings.

It looks good Bill.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Nice work Bill. You should give us a close up of the nose so we can see all that work you did on the exhaust and spinner.
Oh gees T, I'm not sure if I'm game to do That....... LOL
I just used PVC tube for the exhaust. And the cowling is seperate from the fusie and it doesn't fit all that well, And it wouldn't glue up all that well either. In fact during tape removal one cowl came off.
This was a real exercise in futility. Like I said before, I will now stick to tried and true kits.
But I will be taking other pictures when I am further along.

You've pretty good so far Bill!
Looking good Bill. Nice job.
"Find your enemy and shoot him down - everything else is unimportant."
Looking nice.
Looking good to me Bill, and I really like that 'dicky' seat cockpit.
Is rather "dicky"........ Thanks for the kudos. It's kinda ruff. Not at all up to even what I have submitted for the last two builds. But alas it is nearing completion. Because I had to chop up the canopy, the center section didn't have a frame embossed along one edge, I masked with my electrical tape, then along the bare edge used Mr Surfacer to make the raised frame before painting. The exhaust I used PVC tube and heated the end to bend into the slot. I used a Mig prop for the smaller spinner. Used a piece of PVC sheet behind the spinner for the flat plate and drilled 1mm holes. I have to paint the belly tank, put the stars and numbers on. Then I can get on with the La-7.
Sorry this one looks so rough. It is trying to have a kit so ill of fit. But it will add some color to the cabinet, if I ever finish That one!!
