Huh, how did you do it? :-dal
Didn't anyone tell you that you shouldn't submerge parts into cement in order to glue it properly? :-evil
Just kidding, of course, you'll correct it no doubt ;)

Tonight the first test-fitting of the Scale Aircraft Conversions landing gear took place. They fit nicely and will look great when painted and assembled.

No problem mate  :-ok I have sense for humor, a bit different :))

Problems with glue is caused with head problems and low concentration, just one drop more sleep inside and was more then enough.

Okay, I've decided on a paint scheme. Almost. It's been pared down to two possibilities from five that I started with. I won't know until my first cup of coffee tomorrow morning which one I'm going to select.

After numerous cups of coffee the final decision was made. The trim colors first, along with the anti-glare panel and some black:

The rest is easy now that I have committed to the scheme. There were several that I would have enjoyed doing but only one at a time!

I had planned on some more F-84 painting after work today but the wind was so strong it was stirring up dust in my "paint booth". So, I started a bit of work on a later Republic fighter/bomber.......
