Here I have the paint on the plane...just letting it cure for 3 days, then Ill put on a cote of future, give it another 3 days and then its decals and a pinwash. The pictures dont give the subtlety of the paint justice in my opinion..

the walls were done in acrylic and shadows were feathered in using Paynes Grey artist oils
oils were also used on the seat
after the control cables were added the sub assemblies were positioned for assembly
here is the fuselage half sans panel and controls.This last pic is a dry-fit only.The insturments were removed from the backing sheet using a hole punch as close to the guage as possibe. the panel looks really good I think..I will take pics of the panel after I remove the masking...
This will end up in a lawyers office once completed.
