1/72 ID+ Hawker Hurricane 80% complete.
1/32 Mark V tank tracks rough shape.

No progress on anything else yet. The plan is to complete the Hurricane and Mark V before starting anything else.

1/350 HMCS Aurora, 1/72 Hangar and 1/32 Sabre are gathering dust.

I'm on my 3rd paint job for the Hall's Bulldog Racer. Finding the craft acrylic paint to not cover well. Especially the red over the darker cedar grain. Also the white stripes over black. I'm trying the Hobby Lobby best artist paint. I find the red turns pink if I try to thin it with water. I'm also experimenting with different line brushes. The paint scheme on the Bulldog is outlined in white pin stripes. I'm determined to do them by hand. At least I have lots of fine sandpaper!

I should have Mr Universe muscles with all the sanding I do.

For Flying S.....Water based paint WILL turn cedar pink! I don't like spraying, but for bringing out the red in cedar.....it's the only way!.....Pete
