After puttering with this thing on and off for a year and a half I finally got to call it done last night.
It's the 1/72 Airfix kit.

Nice job!!!  Especially with the one shade of paint I have never had anything positive happen with-DAYGLO.It either comes out like stringy chewing gum or in big blobs no matter how or what I thin it with, I won't touch the stuff anymore and yours looks wonderful.

That was the color I was least looking forward to and I did something I thought i'd never do again. Paint with a brush! It took a couple coats over white to look decent. It's Testors Model Master International Orange and it brushed beautifully from a new bottle. I opened it last night and it's nothing but goo now. |

I'd never heard this about dayglows, I'm glad I checked this thread. Model looks good, I always liked these "classy" USAF markings, with the grey/ white and the pinstripes. How were the clear parts handled? On the Hobbycraft, the whole fuselage was molded in clear. |

The very old AIRFIX kit uses the plug in windows so you can appreciate the acid trip vision

Yes, all the windows are separate unlike the Hobbycraft kit. |
