The first production P-80A's Block 1, continued the pearl grey gloss paint to fill in panel gaps etc. that was used on XP and YP models...I don't think they went to NMF until the P-80A Block 5's. (according to my digging) - Bong died flying a factory fresh P-80A-1-LO so I am using the light grey finish.... Still to cut in the details and add the gear doors etc...

Going in circles now, trying to find out if fuselage Buzz numbers were used on the Block one P-80A's -

Back on the P80 this weekend - Decal work starts - I will have to make the tail code and 'Shooting Star' decals I think...

Slowed down this week - All I've got done this weekend so far is a bash of a 1/48 pilot for an approximation of Richard Bong's last flight....

I think we should try for a table at Telford and camp for the weekend to avoid hotel bills! There's some great stuff of all genres been built and worthy of the show which would wow the crowds!
I reckon some Partworks would qualify as some are part plastic!
I do need lessons from Morris over metals and airbrush!
Outstanding work there!
Partwork Building is like meeting enemy action - no plan survives first contact!! Certified model building idiot! Please treat with kindness!
