| Also worked on decals. This are scaled to 1:14 and color photo printed to opaque white Water Slide decal paper. Once you print the decals on the paper, you spay with Acrylic clear to set the ink. Because the paper isn’t totally opaque, I will need to under paint the area under the decals in white or gray so that the will look as white as they need to. |

| Bottom is painted a gray primer. Started drawing in panel lines. Pretty close to do, but need a few details, like access panels. There are almost no reference pictures of the underside of this aircraft. Challenge with building a prototype aircraft where only two examples were built! So, a lot of guesswork here. |

| Picked up work on the XP-67 this weekend. Painted the top with OD Green, with dark green along the edges. This was a common camouflage technique at the time. The OD Green is not represented well in these pictures, but is supposed to meet the official OD green spec. When researching this color, it became apparent that none of the paint companies have a good representation of the OD Green that was used in WWII. It also doesn’t help that the USAAF changed the color mix in 1943, but many manufactures used whatever paint they had in stock! Plus, planes were repainted when they were repaired or upgraded. So…I’m taking the “choose the color you like” method. |
