Hi, all!  Here's a quick update on the razorback.


I took the masking off last week, and found some areas that needed touching up, where paint had seeped under the masking.


Here's a shot from the left side:

I've circled the most visible areas.  First, the border of the nose colors has a bit of a ragged edge, where the white crept under, but the red didn't.  Not too bad, because there is a decal that will cover this border between the colors.  There is a little bit of a built-up ridge, though, in spots, which I will have to smooth out.


Also, I cut the demarcation between the OD and the neutral gray a little too high on the port side wing fillet.  And somehow, I masked over the vent, too.  Those areas I will touch up with the brush.

The border of the rudder colors will also be covered by a decal.  There's a spot of white on the rudder, which can be touched up with a brush, too.


Here's a shot of the underside:

There was some seepage at the tip of the one horizontal stabilizer, D'OH!  That will have to be sprayed, because I don't have a bottle color to match.


All in all, though, I'm happy with the way the colors have come out.  After touch-up, I'll apply a gloss coat and then apply the decals.


Thanks for looking, tips/comments/criticisms welcomed!
