Bell X-1
The Bell X-1 in the livery of October 14, 1947, the day Charles “Chuck” Yeager broke the sound barrier (the first time in the history of aviation) with the “Glamorous Glennis”.
Classic start with the cockpit of the aircraft.
The aircraft after filling and sanding and applying the canopy masks.
After painting the canopy black, it was masked off.
The primer has been applied.
The aircraft was sprayed in an orange base tone and then exposed parts of the aircraft were preshaded.
The preshading was done in a very minimally tinted basic tone. I think it was 10:1 orange to black.
The final top color was applied in the ratio of 8:1 orange to red.
The slightly darker top color was removed in some places so that the slightly lighter base color appeared again. The previously silver-sprayed parts were lightly chipped.
After a layer of clear varnish, the decals were applied.
