Back in the paint booth for some more white primer.

Red being applied. I find it easier to paint the red and mask it rather than the entire aircraft.

Quite the difference between the engines installations. I like how you did the heat shield s.

Thank you Fraser. I should have made better research into the subject.

Paint complete with exception of engine and leading edge trim that require a metal finish. The exhaust area will also get some attention. Decals are printed and the fuselage flash taken from my CF-101B spare decals.

Need a bit of quality control on the metallic leading edge otherwise should be ready for decals.

Roll out 16 May 2022. I neglected to add that the Falcon was the first flight and it spoiled me for any other aircraft. The scheme I chose is the one worn during that first flight. A few minor setbacks, but overall a very enjoyable project.

Another stunning model Lou.

Well Done!

Thank you Gordon. My project is coming along nicely.

Lou, you certainly have upped the game for presenting finished models. Not only is the model a beautiful aircraft, it also SOUNDS good too.

The Falcon was a frequent visitor to Goose Bay during my first posting there.
