Little update .
i pick up some very good masking Tape from auto-body shop supply store . 3m scotch 233+ masking tape . 3m fine line tape . Highly recommend ..
I still like Tamiya tape ,but this here is great stuff
I started little more painting .
Red on tail end .
The Invasion stripes white area . Next the black stripes
3/4 inch tape
2 inch tape
fine line tape .
I have the body Alclad Aluminum .It came out looking pretty good . i will let this set for few days , to let all paint cure before moving on
I love that Grex fan spray nozzle
I Painted the wings Tamiya Chrome silver ..Came out looking very good
I did have to respray some light primer over couple areas .Just Did not look right . I hear alclad will show issues . Fixed now
I also received a new air tip nozzzle for my Grex airbrush called Air Spray .OMG I love it for bigger area paint jobs .Highly recommend for anyone using GREX airbrush ,Photo below
My Grex airbrush with the .3 Air Spray nozzle
Now my painted wings .
I found out , the body will be Alclad . The wings I need to silver paint .
Well see how this comes out
Looking good Rick. Now let's see the Alclad.

I am watching this one with great interest and you're doing a very good job. I am almost at this stage with my F-86 . Interesting that you used the clear/black combination for the Alclad undercoat, can't wait to see how this comes out.
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
Thanks
This weekend I hope to have Alclad down , then paint the wings
I will see
Looks really good so far. The Alclad is almost foolproof, you just have to get the undercoat perfect, I think you're all set. Although the black does look very sleek and sinister, sometimes I'm almost tempted to just leave the plane in the black!

bvallot Looking real good so far Rick! That pilot was well painted too. Great job there on an item that's usually difficult to treat right. =] The Tamiya mustang is a dream to build. What's the paint scheme going to look like?

That would be 3rd down plane
On the bench:
Tamiya F4U-1 Kenneth Walsh
I primed and sprayed a highly thin layer on Tamiya black mixed with tamiya clear . This will be my base for Alclad .
I need to finish up on some smaller parts while this completely cures out
lawdog114I do the same to my Tamiya Mustang fifties. They are horrible on this kit. Which subject are you going to do?
Not sure yet .. I like them all . The decals are very nice ..
Gamera She looks great so far! Barracudacals are top quality, I'm sure you'll enjoy using them.

I have the wings ,muffler and engine cover installed .
Also received new decals BarracudaCals . Very nice ..
I have the wings glued to the fuselage . That be it for the weekend
Well I did not like the 50 cal. guns barrels on this plane . So I sanded down the supposed to be guns barrels . I installed only the 50 cal. barrels ..
No photos before I sanded the barrels off .. Sorry
Rick,
Your work looks great so far! I'll be following along because this kit is on my soon to buy list.
Best wishes,
Gary
I have the fuselage glued together . Sanded the seam line , then applied some badger black primer ..
Thanks all
I have some last photos of the pilot and interior . I have glued the fuselage together . The camera batteries went dead on me ..
