Javlin Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share #38 Posted December 30, 2020 Not much to report the plane has received another cote of clear actually a few added the headrest and LG are glued in place with hydraulics lines installed.The only thing left is the antenna ,pitot tube,gun sight,canopy and whether to panel line her?I started chipping and it was just not happening same issue on the Kate?I finally realized it was my base black it's not glossy giving the grainy texture so the paint sticks to good to the silver.I then started using MM Metalizer Silver did not like it under the canopy on the L/side was going to repaint but remembered hey I have a gloss barrier q-tip and turpentine took care of it just had to touch up the original chips. Kevin I messed up the decal on the tail the lower front kill marking came off out came the Waldron punch set it will pass muster.
