That is looking just fantastic!  You're doing a great job.  What kind of paint are you using and is this paint sceme being done with an AB, rattle can, or by hand. Thank you in advance.

Thanks Toshi, the white is a rattle can I picked up at dollar general, the intermediate blue is model masters, and the dark blue is testers. The white is rattle can and all the rest is hand

Looks great with what you did.  Especially if you did it by hand, you could have fooled me.  I thought it was all AB.  I'm also building and have a thread on a TBF Avenger, it's a Academy 1/72 so it's a lot smaller than yours is.

For your first masking attempt on a particularly complicated subject, you did a good job. One thing that I cannot tell from your photos is to pass along a tip I picked up from someone here many years ago ... there really should be two applications of paint on canopy framing.  First paint the interior color then paint over that with the exterior color.  Up close you will then be able to detect the difference in color when peering through the canopy.
