I hate when they make you assemble the props like that! I had to do that four times with my Shinmeiwa. Looks like you got it on well and all blades well aligned. Way to go!

Primer is on ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . I used once again Mig One Shot Black primer. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48923574243_ae4b10585b_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48924305272_1a1db3fa4c_c.jpg) I have decided to change the ordnance on her, being a ground attack aircraft I shall not bother with the Sidewinders ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . It's getting some nice earth moving equipment instead ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) , 2 GBU-12s and 2 Mk82 Snakeyes ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

The grey ghost has appeared after all ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48929845162_de21919527_c.jpg) This is a mix of Vallejo 71.275 - USAF Medium Gray, 71.046 - Pale Blue Grey and a drop of 71.306 - Sky Blue ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . I'll let fully cure for a a couple of days and then start masking and add the green camo ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Many thanks my dear friends ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . I got the green camo on today ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) , I used Vallejo Green Grey 71.341. After comparing this with decals, it appeared to be perfect ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Also I needed a hard edge paint job for this, so out came the new MBK 18mm masking tape. The tape is quite tacky to touch, this worried me a tad as I thought it might pull some paint off when removed. I needn't have worried though, even though it holds darned good to the model and makes you tug a good deal when de-masking, it didn't remove any of the uderlaying paint ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) . I also needed to cut the tape into some small squigles, even here it held perfectly. I didn't bother with a re-spray of the base coat to stop any bleeding, just gently pressed the edges down and all went well ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Noticing the plastic core of the tape I checked it against some others I have, I reckon it is the same stuff that Revell markets, just this is cheaper. ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48963170702_28507dd7a1_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48962992276_69e1e1cef0_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48962437408_da2f653e14_c.jpg) ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48963169432_cb6c7c2852_c.jpg) The tapes, left larger roll MBK, right Revell ![](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48962993171_0501e9de30_c.jpg)
