Near black overspray was followed by a knife edge drawn through some panel lines to reveal the primer beneath. Leading edges were chipped a bit to show the underlying aluminum

As I didn't have the decals for the specific aircraft I wanted, paint masks were cut from clear-tak film to allow the call letters to be sprayed on

Thanks Carlo, This is not typically a jet you come across much n 1/48th scale (or any other scale for that matter), so it nice to have on the shelf. You can see the finished model at my website: flypastrush.com/post..odel-f3d-2-skyknight
