It's finally coming together, but a lot of "fixing" before i call it done. I want an airbrush!! there is so much paint on this thing that there would be little chance of it becoming airborne and flying straight due to the weight /lumpiness of it all. I've painted the markings on. i thought i had kept the old crackly decals and was prepared to try to save them, but they couldnt be found - I've decided to show in progress pictures as i'm waiting for paint to dry. The girl, and tiger are wet and awaiting additional layers/detail.

Hi GI_Babycakes!

Don't tell me you are going to paint the tiger on the fuselage with a brush! You will need a 000 one!
I think you did a great job on the mouth! I can't wait to add this one to the list!

Wow, Baby Cakes:

You have a steady hand, that's fer sure. The markings,
the sharksmouth and what is becoming the tiger on
the aft portion of the fuselage is really lookin' killer.

Wow babycakes! That's some cool freehand work you have going there. Great job getting the work done without the decals

Babycakes, you are doing some excellent free hand painting here! Very very impressive!!! Looking forward to seeing the next steps. Cheers Kevin

Awesome!! I used to brush-paint my models a while back...nothing I did looks as good as your efforts. I can't wait to see what you'll do when you get that airbrush! Great Job.
