Well my friends the end is coming closer.

The seams are cleaned up. They are resprayed the base colors. The De Icing boots are painted. Overspray has been cleaned up. (I think)

Some pictures prior to a gloss coat and then decals.

I do believe there will be one more update before this goes dark.

Looks great!
What are you using for a back drop? I need to find something better than the two big sheets of tissue paper I used today :-\

Looking sharp, Joe
Not showing the guts of the wings this time?

This backdrop is one I purchased online. It is a 48" cube.

Very kind.

No no wing work this time around. There is a ton in the wing and this build was intended for a different purpose.

Decals.

We have markings on Chowhound. They were a bit fiddly and took several sessions with decal solvent to get them to snug down but they are on.

And now she goes dark. More will be posted following a yeah or nay.
