That's not a P38G !

Looks great Fester. Are the intake leading edges a seperate piece? No way to take the camo up to the leading edge?

Now about CorkyJr

you talking about under the props?

the neutral grey is accurate in that area.

LOL, guess I never noticed it before. With that in mind, my next question is, doesn't that look like a different color then neutral gray?

I wonder if it's yelllow? Look at the clear demarcation line on the left engine in particular. It looks to be a different color.

Not suggesting changing it though. It's a real work of art ya got their Fester. You do some great work

might be a bit lighter neutral grey i made the skin just a tad lighter grey on those intakes. i think this pic shows its not yellow though yellow would look cool

I don't think paint chipping and weathering details get any better than Citabria's work.

~~, What a beauty. Leaves me wanting to see more.~~
