That looks completely different, much better. Pantherman

It's a booger. I loaded the area with water to help it slide a little bit. I still had to use the needle-nose to move it around.

I ended up painting the tail. Still need to touch up and straighten the lines a bit.

Also did some work on the wood around the cockpit.

Those decales are tough to work with. Good job on the painting!

Thank you both. That is the first time doing anything with oil paint. I think it's okay but I will get better with practice.

I picked up some Raw Umber oil paint today to give it a try myself. I'm also planning on doing the second scheme for paint, so the nose on mine will by Aluminum.... Alum....uuuuuh..... Aluminium..... Happy Panther?...lol

First coat on the nose. Also got the guns a first coat of gunmetal and assembled the landing gear struts and started cleaning up the wheels.

A-loo-mini-um?

I did not know that in the middle of the lower wing is a section under the cockpit that is also painted wood, I'm happy with the outcome.
Also, I mounted the wing and tail.

I hope to do more when I get home tonight

Bear43 · Nov 14, 2023

That is looking very nice!

TimM63 · Nov 14, 2023

I agree with Bear. It's looking really good.

TimM63 · Nov 14, 2023

Got the wings painted.

Bear43 · Nov 14, 2023

Yours is looking great too. I have a lot of catching up to do.
