Well, the wife finally got done with her garage sale last weekend and spent a couple days afterward to restore all of the stuff she didn't sell. So, the garage is mine. ALL MINE!!!! HAHAHAHAHA.

Anyway, I managed to tape off and paint the cowl. It turned out really nice, ready for a shot of clear.

The wing is now taped and has a coat of base white over it to seal the tape before I paint on the red. Will wait a couple days for the white to get nice and dry before I paint the red. Once I am all done with these items, then I can finish my decals, and give the whole thing some clear coat.

I have to say I am a bit disappointed in the stickers that came with the kit. The numbers and checkerboards are not quite as opaque as I had thought. You can see a bit of red through the white, so it doesn't match my white stripes as closely as I would have liked. Also, they were kind of hard to apply, and getting all of the little air bubbles out from the bigger decals was kind of hard. Some of them are still there, even after *****ing and pressing them. I really wish they were water slide decals, not self adhesive.

Well anyway, here is a couple more pics.
