john53 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 The tail is done, well actually I still have to paint the tip red, I do have a decal but it looks better painted.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Looking good! After all, it;s a Grumman aircraft and you're doing a cracking job on it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Thanks, I'm still not sure about the nose flash on this plane. I really don't see it in the shadowy B&W pictures, just in some illustrations. I've also seen the F9F-2s of VF-51s next cruise, with Neil Armstrong as a pilot, and they don't show a nose flash either. Here's Neil Armstrong in plane # 116 on their next cruise.

john53 Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 I have the landing gear and doors on and it's got a coat of Future. Next are the decals then the last part, the pitot tube.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Almost done, just need to add pitot tube, Future decals and dull coat. I should have it done early next week.---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dnl42 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Looks fabulous already! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Wow, you're done already! Are you going ahead with the lacquer dull coat over Future? Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
