Thank you fellows.

Always liked the little Gee Bee planes . Had some kits in the past but painting the scallops was an issue for me . When I saw this tiny kit that had some decals for the scallops I had to have it . Even with the decals some painting had to be done . The instructions said Humbrol 19 red was a match for the decals . I ordered it and found out it was not a match at all . I decided just to use what red I had which was actually closer . Not terribly happy with it but did the best I could with this tiny thing .

Got the Cobra up on the wheels . Need a little better weather before trying out that paint .

Clever.

Was enamel and took 2 days to dry.

Looks very nice to me. I built one not long ago and it was a PITA. !

Interesting.

My stash is down to about 45 ( all Cobras ). I have started to thin my stash down my selling some and I have built a few of them. As I get older I decided I need to think ahead so family is not stuck with them.

I'm building a teeny, tiny 1/72 Gee Bee airplane. The decals give you most of what you need but you do need to fill in with some red paint. The instructions say that Humbrol 19 red is a match for the red on the decals. I order some. It does not match at all. I do have some other red that is closer at least on a test strip of plastic. Hopefully it will be a better match.

I love this project, Soooooo cool !

This is the third or fourth I have built.

Nice !

Well done, cleanly built model.

Nice cleanly built model.

Got a chance to work on this one a bit . Body in primer . Chassis almost done . I have never been good at engine wiring and this one is no different . I did not have a distributor so I used a mag that I had . This model is just going to be a custom so anything goes ?? Actually just using this kit as a test bed for some custom paint . The flake will no doubt be out of scale but I just want to experiment with this paint . If anyone has used it please let me know what you think .

Good looking plane.

They both look excellent.

Nice, looks good.

Looks good. great work.

Wow ! You have a good eye and a steady hand ! Impressive work.

Oh ya ! You have my attention.

Wow ! That paint pops !

Love the paint.

Looks like a decal nightmare ! Nice work.

Super sharp Camaro !
