With a bad case of "waiting for boxes to arrive" I painted some early-ish British roundels on the bottom. I've found that a good heavy stock 2018 calendar makes great paint masking templates.
Yep - that's close enough for guvmint work! Slightly off center on the right side, but that's because I scraped the wet paint a little bit pulling up the paint mask and had to spray some extra blue to cover up the ugly. But it's on the bottom - and it's on Snoopy's plane - so I'm going to keep it this way as character
So the list of boxes I'm waiting for...
- Box with another can of the creamy colored Ironlak paint to finish the bottom of the ailerons
- Box with 4-40 ball style control rod ends for the servo horns. Turns out these fancy aluminum ones are threaded with some pretty big holes and just using a normal clevis leaves a whole lot of slop on the connection.
- Box with the cheap-o detail spray gun to paint the top of the wing
