![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/1/1/8/1506118-45643-69-720.jpg)
I wasn’t happy with round panel lines. I create a template for positions of panels then filled them all.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/1/1/9/1506119-45643-66-720.jpg)
Rescribed round panels with Hasegawa trytool.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/1/4/9/1506149-45643-73-720.jpg)
Unfortunately there is a respectable gap to be filled and sanded just below the air intakes.
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/3/0/2/1506302-45643-37-720.jpg)
This is reference picture.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/3/0/1/1506301-45643-52-720.jpg)
This is what I can replicate.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/3/4/2/1506342-45643-48-720.jpg)
Nozzles are also done.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/7/1/6/1506716-45643-12-720.jpg)
Finally wings meet with fuselage.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/6/6/9/1507669-45643-51-720.jpg)

![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/7/6/0/1507760-45643-39-720.jpg)
Finally ready for primer.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/4/4/1/1561441-45643-30-720.jpg)
Some little progress.
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/4/4/2/1561442-45643-30-720.jpg)
Primmed with Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 white.

After sanding with 1000 grinds sponge painted with H306 Gray. After that masked for other gray.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/8/3/7/1562837-45643-22-720.jpg)
I used Vallejo 71.097 first mixed with insignia white 1/2 but it was too lighter. Then I mixed 1/5 and sprayed again. Bu I wasn’t satisfied….
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/8/3/8/1562838-45643-59-720.jpg)
At the third attempt I directly use gunship gray without white. And now I’m happy with the color when I compare it with the reference pictures.
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/5/1/3/1737513-45643-52-720.jpg)
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/5/1/4/1737514-45643-99-720.jpg)
Reference picture of elevator without panel.

![Album image #27 Album image #27](/albums/img/5/1/6/1737516-45643-12-720.jpg)
I didn’t notice before but these panels don’t exist on that tail number. I should sand and rescribe the panel lines again.
![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/4/0/1/1751401-45643-12-720.jpg)
It’s done.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/4/0/4/1751404-45643-20-720.jpg)
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/4/0/2/1751402-45643-98-720.jpg)

![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/4/0/5/1751405-45643-28-720.jpg)
It is not glued yet but final painting for exhausts and tail metal panels.
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/7/4/6/1751746-45643-73-720.jpg)
I should modify these parts according to reference picture.
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/7/4/7/1751747-45643-60-720.jpg)
Stabilisers OK.
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/1/9/0/1754190-45643-74-720.jpg)
Some decals set. I hope decal solution works and decals fit tight otherwise I have to paint walk ways.
![Album image #36 Album image #36](/albums/img/3/9/7/1756397-45643-73-720.jpg)
And of course it was no good. I sanded and masked for painting.
![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/3/9/6/1756396-45643-50-720.jpg)
I added very little H-11 Flat white to XF-85 Rubber Black.
![Album image #38 Album image #38](/albums/img/3/9/8/1756398-45643-10-720.jpg)
I’m satisfied with result. Final touches will be with some oils later.
![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/4/0/1/1758401-45643-25-720.jpg)
Some more decals added but I can say that decals are not good. They’re really thin and they stick immediately on surface. Very difficult to reposition them. Overall I’m not happy with decals so far.
![Album image #40 Album image #40](/albums/img/5/9/0/1760590-45643-33-720.jpg)
Upper fuselage decals finished. Still I’m not happy with decals quality.
![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/7/5/7/1763757-45643-97-720.jpg)
![Album image #42 Album image #42](/albums/img/7/5/8/1763758-45643-93-720.jpg)
Panel wash completed.
