That's it for today.
I do not recommend to paint with a brush only. I should have used my airbrush. The class lights had to be removed to. Together with the old number boards was a layer of putty and some sanding required. The yellow paint (Polly Scale Reading Yellow) could not cover gray putty on yellow background. An extra layer of light gray undercoat was necessary. Yellow required four other layers. That is far to much to look good....
The footsteps have been removed and the blower on top of the dummy dynamic brakes has been replaced with two stacks.
The decals will need to set over night until I can continue with more details.
Update: Last task was to paint the top of the short hood blue. The blue color worked well but the masking tape failed... what a mess :evil:
