Started this with priming everything yesterday.

Today, I masked the pan for space frame painting, oi!

Good luck with this project. I'm sure there'll be a lot of interest in it. The 910 is a very cool subject but that kit is a lot more model than I'm willing to undertake. So I'm glad you're doing it!

Thanks guys. Don't expect anything wonderful though. I have a lot to learn but im going to try hard

Anyone have any idea how to duplicate the finish of these fiberglass parts? I have a color matched for it. I was thinking of a black base coat, then spraying a watery yellow over it, but i dont know what to spray it on, like a stencil of sorts.

Trey, not 100% sure this would work, but worth a try on some scrap....

I got a similar pattern for carbon fiber by spraying the darker shade through some fly-screen mesh....the plastic mesh often found on windows around the home....

It generally has a fairly small square pattern, maybe 2mm or smaller....

Great start by the way.

Good question. I would try on a scratch piece, maybe spray on the yellow/brown color and when it is tacky but not wet use a stiff fan brush or coarse grit file to rake the pattern on and use a black wash. Nothing proven, just a thought off the top of my head.

You still working on this one?
