Looks great Bob, glad you fitted the centre sectiion to the fuselage, unlike a certain UK based aircraft company, who recently found their new wings for RAF Nimrods only fitted one of the fleet - the one they took the measurements from.

I use one of those "milky" types here. it's called "Glo-Cot" and made by Johnson's as well. Dries on a satin finish, sometimes a little glossier than other (I don't know if that is related to stirring the flask before painting) Has the same levelling properties than future and dries transparent as well.

There are really two times to re-coat, within the hour and the next day. If it's within the hour, work fast so you don't start picking up undercoat. 2 coats in a night, say, or one each day kind of thing. > > Any other thoughts? It just seems that it should take 2 or 3 coats at max to > cover. Unless it is a 'dye' color, yes. Dye colors don't have a lot of masking pigment. Drabs act funny, PC-10, Khakis, whatever. They're made up of fairly complex color mixes to get that color and I think the pigment is fairly coarse. There's a thing called "falling out" or the self-levelling properties of a paint that is not real optimum in drabs and olives... A grey or toned primer may also help you if you're getting a lot of show-thru. The brushes you are using are excellent. A bigger brush than one would suspect. Like a #2 to even #4, depending on your scale. The rest is handled by control. Try cutting back the Future in the mix. Is there a reason you are needing to do this? Am curious.

I remember that Diego's technique: he had a friend with very firm breasts. Kit which needed thinning was placed in the Diego's breast-pocket, and Diego went to meet that girl. "Oh! It's you!!!!" - he shouted and run to hug her. And then fuselage was extremely thin. I even have Diego's Pegasus Roland thinned that way. Of course that method worked only BEFORE marriage with Wanda, no doubts here...

However, when it's finished, it's too big to get to get out of his basement. I know it's sounds funny now, but when Keeler told it, it sounded really stupid and boring:).
