Rudder is Alclad #101 Basic AL..The tail are was first Alclad Exhaust manifold,Pale burnt metal a darker Burnt metal all applied in a vertical motion if I had a blue vary sparing some of that would of happened.I had to do some touch-ups on the 126 from paint and I started noticing it was just a tad different and I started doing verticals on the fuse.I hope it last overnight and stays just breaks up the scheme to my liking.

Egilman Posted November 13 #4 Posted November 13 Nice rendition of the discolored stainless steel aft fuselage... That is about the color of overheated SS... When hot, it would exhibit all the colors of the rainbow, reds, purples and blues in bands between the bulkhead stiffeners... Very pretty... when they first sent them to SEA, they painted them in camo, but that quickly burned off after a few missions... It makes for one of the most difficult planes to paint... You have a great start on a early war bird.... Very nice...

Canute Posted November 13 #5 Posted November 13 Nicely done hot section, Javlin. I've seen any number of Huns, but always in SEA camo. This one will look cool in NMF.

Javlin Posted Wednesday at 11:35 PM Author #7 Posted Wednesday at 11:35 PM I am moving slowly along on this one the LG's are in place kinda tricky all three!The LG's need to be built while stilling drying to get the proper alignment of three different actuator arms on the main gear and two on the front.The instructions are not the best in drawing or location and to do one side a couple times hence work while drying.I am hoping the decals work well on these curves or I will have to come up with a plan B?I can find lots of D's/F's decals C's hmnn....🤨 Canute, ccoyle, Dave_E and 4 others 7
