Painting is officially underway. At least a little bit. I did forget to paint the front landing gear bay door however...

FYI; The U.S. Air Force doesn't use the thick ablative fire-retardant coating on their bombs that the U.S. Navy uses on theirs.
In fact, if a modeler has bombs for a USN model and wants to use them on a USAF model, the coating has to be sanded off (If the USN bombs are accurately represented) to keep the USAF model accurate.

JMac said:Ok, so I did a huge painting session today.
And here's what it looks like tonight. I'm pretty happy with how everthing is shaping up. The white balance is a little out on the pictures below, so the colours are a little off...
I have a few spots where I have to correct some over spray, and one spot where I scratched the paint with my tweezers. I'll fix those tomorrow and then on to details painting.
Thanks for dropping by and taking a look. Comments always welcome.
