Alright, the M3 has a top-coat that I need to let sit for a while, the P-38 is primed but I need to read up on polishing metallic paint before moving ahead on it. So...

Time to put the Phantom back on the front burner right?

I need to give the metal surfaces some attention...

I'm relatively happy with the variations of warm and cool grey.

This area will be getting (darkish) exhaust "stains".

I'm also going to experiment with adding color to the cans. Hoping I can match what Gary did on his F-4, looks for his thread on Robin Olds to see.
