Thank you!

Sanding (two sessions) and rescribing of some panels


Then Rub 'n Buff is used to obtain a good metal effect

First layout of primer revealed some defaults where putty was applied.
This time I've used Mr Surfacer 500.

Exquisite!

Incidentally, I stumbled onto a photo of an early Ryan Firebee drone, and it looks for all the world like a slightly smaller version of the Ta-183 with a conventional horizontal tail location. I wonder if the Ryan designers were somehow inspired by this advanced machine?

New primer layout; all is OK now


And a little bit of scribing to represent the position lights

I think about some easy way to replace this solid plastic with real transparent plastic... ?

Sure it's a possibility.
But I wish to try another method: alu then transparent green and red

Tamiya makes nice transparent red and blue. The blue looks pretty close to the green of most lenses and I've been using this for some time now.
