I played with the Polly Scale paint and it seems that the 70% alcohol did the trick. Now all I need to do is mask the lower color and spray the first color of the top coat.

Here's where I am on the Corsair. The landing geart is not attached I just wanted to see how it looks on it's own legs. I also included a picture of Alex's cockpit before we close her up. Take note of the colors of the pilots uniform, he did alot of research to get it correct

Also note that my desk is not clean I'll correct that ASAP

Roy- Looking good there. Thumbs Up [tup]

Richie- I am familiar with his work, can't wait to check out that video!

By the way, has anyone else noticed that we are 60 posts away from 10,000? That has got to be some kind of record. Approve [^]

Got the last color sprayed before breakfast ;D Need to go back and do some touch ups here and there but nothing major. Some of the pictures are not that sharp, I'll try and do better next time.
