Okay, well I managed a lot of work in today, so, as a result- lots of pics!![Tongue Tied](/emoticons/emotion-7.gif)
I added Euro Green as an extra camo color, that's what it is now, I can't change it, probably use different colors next time...![](http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/paperpanzer/P1010065_01-2.jpg)
The white fuselage ID stripe was a pig to paint, as I said earlier, lots of coats before it becomes opaque.![](http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/paperpanzer/P1010068.jpg)
I decided due to a lack of "postage stamp" style insignia I would mask and paint my own, with dismal results, A lesson to me from now on though... first the tape on a tile ready to be cut-![](http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/paperpanzer/P1010069.jpg)
Outdated ID engineering gear is useful...![](http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/paperpanzer/P1010074_01.jpg)
While that was being readied, I glued the replacement pitot tube in place-![](http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/paperpanzer/P1010078_01.jpg)
Now the horror, here we go- ![Blind Fold](/emoticons/icon_smile_blindfold.gif)

Aahhh! Red paint starts bleeding all over the place!-![](http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/paperpanzer/P1010082_01-1.jpg)
Well, after that escapade, I cleaned up the mess and touched- up the best I could, the cut out spare decals of Hungarian rudder markings which I had been hoping to save, but they won't fit anything else I would build, so I went ahead and cut them up (probably what I should have done in the first place!
)-![](http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/paperpanzer/P1010084_01-1.jpg)
While the touched- up areas were drying, I cleaned up the props and started painting. The front prop cover had it's cannon drilled out, and I am planning to paint it with 1/2 white/ 1/2 black-![](http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/paperpanzer/P1010085.jpg)

Decals applied, I then moved onto the canopys (Not my strong point!!!)-![](http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh619/paperpanzer/P1010090_01.jpg)
