Thanks Lou! That's what I thought it should be.

The red primer is a primer filler that works better at getting a smoother finish. I used to use red primer all the time, but it is messier to sand.

Prop discs in four stages.

Looking good Lou, I like the base idea. Regards Paul J.

Thank you Paul. I had some drywall filler left over so I just pour it directly on the board and rolled a broom handle over it.. I would have to do the edges first and then use the putty approach. Painting was just spraying blue from one direction and green from the other. Dark gloss paint would do better. I have a quantity of old dart plaques that will do nicely.

I ran out of dark slate grey and it not available locally so I mixed my own to so so results. Once I and the extra dark sea grey I will see if it does the trick.

Spectacular job Lou.  Any tips on masking the canopy frames.  You do such a nice job.

Excellent Lou! I wish my white paint looked that good!

Kenny, the canopy lines are Tamiya tape cut to thin strip and paint over. I then remove them using tweezers to avoid scraping the paint job.
I did the same with my Lanc.

Lovely inscription Lou.  I'm sure it will be well received.
