I used Rustoleum bright silver for the metallic finish. I will let it cure a few days before handling it.

The Flying Boxcar is nearing completion. For some  reason I can't phantom, I paint two main gear doors and left the other in the build box.

Here are the props after several attempts to do a decent job. They have a three-piece hub and four individual blades.

I am intrigued by the paint and masking sequence for this model.

I have been doing that all along. It helps with not having to mask the entire aircraft just to paint the panels.

Rollout occurred on 25 May 2023. The RCAF purchased 35 C-119F and eventually converted them to C-119G configuration. My model is an early C-119F version. A very satisfying project.

Very nice looking model with the flag in the background. I've always liked the look of the aircraft.
