Thanks Gil I made huge mistake and applied Testors Gloss coat over the enamel OD. :smiley13: After serious bad reactions .I am now removing all the OD paint on the upper surface. Trying Mr Color paint remover for first time..So far looks very effective .May have to publish some comments after using this stuff. I had never heard of it. Cheers

Greetings We are progressing Question Any suggestions on buffing/sanding the Paint to smooth out the finish without removing much Paint? Thanks PS Paint is still drying in Photo...strange looking Shades

Actually the front clear parts went on with almost no fit problems. I future'd them back in December and they came out very nice. My first task when building aviation is to future the clear pieces. Thanks for the comments

Thanks My plans are for faded OD on Upper surfaces and Natural Metal Below. Sissy way of handling the large amount of surface work.

This is taking quite a bit of time :smiley23: Lots of Filler around this kit And

Progress continues however challenging I know most of this engine will nort be seen ,but what the heck Some of the most challenging parts getting the nacelles to "Blend" We March ON
