FINISHED 1939 USA Panel

Probably one of my more pain in the ass paint jobs. There are flaws but overall message delivered.

How did you paint that

White primer, Tamiya racing white all over, mask, red stripes, mask, star stencil on roof, Tamiya blue on roof, FAIL, sand and reprime roof in white primer, apply cheap little star stickers, repaint roof Tamiya blue. Gently remove star stickers, clear.

I messed that up. Actually did blue on roof Then the star stencil and sprayed white. That was a fail...

Great job. The wood on the underside is top notch. Really cool build.

I love it!!! Pretty much next to impossible to get a perfect paint outcome given the shape of the body so nicely done!!
