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 :D

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.
