We are headed out the 138th annual (the oldest in Texas) Washington Co. fair for a while, but I did manage to nearly blind myself painting the det cord on the canopy. More later.

Got the magna-googles and your old "000000000" brush out, eh?

Looks good.

That was my 3 ought brush, as in 3 bristles ought to do it.   You should see how much the magna googles magnify my hand shakes after 2 Red Bulls. I'm pretty close to being done, but I thought I'd show a sneak peek of the ordinance loadout. A little bit of everything for all ocassions. I've found, as per a helpful hint in FSM, that if you take close up photos of your model, imperfections that you may have missed, will jump right out at ya. Still got a few touch ups to do tonight, then the dullcoat tomorrow.

Plus, for your viewing enjoyment, Harrier pix that I've taken over the years.

Yeah, I kinda hated FSM for that little "tip."  

On the real Harrier canopy, why are some of the frames apparently unpainted?

Never noticed that before....

And will help me in the long run because I can cheat on having to try and match the canopy frame colors.

Thank you very much! Tomorrow is rollout.  Here's a sneak peek at the front end.

Holy crap, Eddie!  I can't wait to see the rollout tomorrow.

Wow that's some incredible detail work on that 'pit and canopy Mr Miller! The final roll-out's gonna be one for the books! B)

It's hard to believe this took less than a month to complete, but here it is.
I present to you the "OrcaJet" serving VMA-31, The Orcas. The Cold Killers are based in Adak, Alaska.

This is a Revellogram with all the faults that go with it, but hey, that's why I buy them. They're cheap and present a challenge. Special thanks goes to Ian the Hunter/Gatherer for the "killer" idea.   thank you to all of you who stopped by to take a look and drop a line or two. I couldn't do it without y'all! B) Enjoy.

Eddie, the orca theme is original as well as great looking. I like this one a bunch!
