More paint testing.

I  tried the thinned body putty on some balsa wheel pants today. I sanded the first coat off and applied a second thinner coat. Painting it on is a more manageable and thinner making it easier to sand off. I am just about ready to start covering the Bearcat and Legacy. I've been testing the Lustre-kote blue paint and then went to NAPA and found dark blue Ford engine enamel. I bought a dark primer that will darken the blue a bit more and it looks like a pretty good match for Monokote insignia blue.
  It was a good day to fly but the electrician was here. He's almost done getting the wiring up to code. Not an easy job.
