Here are some more pics of my current project. It is a B-24D and really the biggest challenge I've taken on in a while.

Well, I've finally made some more progress on my B-24. Let me tell you, it's been a painful learning experience.
What have I learned?:
1) Stick to Armor models!!
2) If you do a plane, don't do one with so much damn glass! (B-29's are right out!)
3) If you use Future floor polish as a clear coat your decals are supposed to go on better.
4) Future floor polish radically alters (darkens) your paint job.
5) Decals don't necessarly help decals stay down.
6) Solvaset will melt your decals if you use too much.
7) Stick to armor models!!
Here are some pictures:
I'd like to say that paint chipped effect was something that was intended, but alas. . .
I still have my props, landing gear, and weathering to go. If all goes well (at this stage,) the props should distract people from the other less successful parts of the model (more to come later on that.)
