We made it through a long night safely. The wind was loud and constant for hours. Not sure of wind speeds but don’t doubt gusts exceeding 100 mph. My wife hated the noise of it. An unsettling whistle of sorts. First light revealed limbs down all over the place. Some shingles blown off the roof but no leaks. Privacy fence blown down, about 300 feet of it. Power is out. Running my generator. Chain sawed large limbs into smaller pieces drug it out to the roadside. Took a ride on the side by side around the neighborhood. Trees down all over the place. Localized flooding. Saw damaged homes everywhere. Lots of people out clearing their debris. Everyone is cleaning up already.

Big tornadoes popping off all over the place south of here. The worst weather is in the southern part of Florida thus far.

This is what it looked like yesterday on Interstate 75, 15 miles north of Tampa. All the people trying to evacuate. I didn't see any gas stations today who have gasoline in Tampa. I filled all my tanks up this past Saturday. No telling when gas stations might get fuel again, but it could be many days, depending on how much debris the hurricane causes.

My favorite meteorologist, Ryan Hall, predicts the storm will not develop as a dangerous one, but lots of rain. My motto is, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

I’ve a plan after my final tests.
I’ll paint it gloss black, polish it and from there apply the super metallic 2 paints.
It is all primed and filled and given the first few coats of gloss black. I’ll give it some time and then do another coat before sanding it smooth and then polishing with Tamiya finishing polish. In my tests I can’t get it fully mirror like, but then I think it would need a wax or something to get that. I can get it pretty smooth though where the reflection is not bad and colours are pretty clear. I just found in my tests it didn’t really change the colour so much, but it did give it abit more depth of shine than from polished grey primer.
Keeping the coats really thin to try limit the amount of polishing needed at the end! And because the wings are painted a silver and not nmf they won’t get a full black coat it will just be this polished.
Also black is a really hard colour for me to air brush, always has been! It always speckles! But nato black… no issues!
Im still debating if I fill in the wings with filler like the real one. I’ve a drawing of what panels to fill but not sure yet!
